1. Is it better to feed the turtle bread worm alive or dead If you feed the turtle bread worm, it is better to feed it alive. Dead bread worms may deteriorate and become infected by bacteria, so feeding is risky, while living is less risky. It should be noted that don't feed turtles with live food caught casually, because they may carry parasites. It is best to raise bread worms by themselves, and it is better to feed them that have just peeled off. In addition, don't take them as staple food, just feed them once in a while.
2. What should we pay attention to when feeding turtles1. Feeding frequency: When feeding turtles, we should pay attention to the frequency first. If it is a young turtle, it should be fed once a day so that it can grow quickly. If it is an adult turtle, it can be fed once every two or three days. The amount of food fed at a time should not be too large, usually about the same size as the turtle's head.
2. Pay attention to cleaning: Clean the turtle every time it is fed. Because the raised water turtles need to be in the water to eat, they don't eat on the shore. However, putting food into water will lead to deterioration of water quality, which is not good for turtle's health, so it is necessary to clean up the leftover food residue in time.
3. Hibernation and cessation of food: Many turtles have the habit of hibernation, so there is no need to feed turtles at this time. However, in order to ensure that the turtle can survive hibernation safely, it is necessary to increase feeding in autumn, and reduce or even stop feeding two weeks before hibernation, so that it can empty its stomach and intestines.
