Adult snapping turtles usually feed once every 2-3 days. Because they will eat more in adulthood, and their demand for nutrition will decrease, and they can last longer to feed them once, so the frequency of feeding crocodile turtles in adulthood does not need to be too high. Of course, breeders can't just feed at this frequency. Because of the change of temperature, their metabolism and activity will change, so breeders should change the feeding frequency according to the change of surrounding environment.
When the temperature is on the high side, the feeding frequency of breeders should be increased. Because they have the highest appetite and activity in high temperature environment, it is best to feed them once every 1-2 days. When the temperature is low, the feeding frequency should be lower. Because their metabolism will also decrease in low temperature environment, it is ok to feed them once every 3-4 days.
2. What food is good for adult snapping turtles to feedAlthough snapping turtles prefer animal feed, the demand for nutrition of adult snapping turtles will decrease, so breeders do not need to feed a lot of high nutrition food. At this time, animal feed can be selected to be fed together with plant feed. Common animal feeds are small fish, shrimp, loach, lean meat, etc. Common plant feeds are cabbage, cabbage, apples, bananas, etc.
If breeders don't have time, they can also choose some turtle food for feeding. The nutrient content of turtle food is rich, which is very suitable for feeding crocodile turtles in adulthood. However, it is best for breeders to feed some animal feed regularly to ensure their adequate nutrition.
