How often do Brazilian red-eared turtles feed depends on their growth stages. Generally speaking, young turtles need to be fed once a day. Because they are just born and at a critical stage of growth and development, they need more food and nutrition. However, their appetite is relatively small, so breeders need to follow the principle of eating less and eating more, so as to ensure their adequate nutrition.
When they reach adulthood, the frequency of feeding can be reduced. Because their appetite will increase and their demand for nutrition will decrease in adulthood, breeders only need to feed them once every 2-3 days to ensure their required nutrition.
2. How to feed Brazilian red-eared turtles1. Food choice: Brazilian red-eared turtles are not picky about food, and they can eat all common foods. Breeders can choose to feed with animal feed as staple food, and the animal feed suitable for them is small fish, shrimp, loach, red worm, lean meat and so on. Then use plant feed as an auxiliary, and the plant feed suitable for them to eat is cabbage, spinach, rape, apple, banana and so on.
2. Feeding method: Brazilian tortoises like to eat in water, so it is best for breeders to put food in water and let them find it by themselves. If it is vegetables, fruits and other foods that can't sink to the bottom, you can put them under the water with clips, and then take them out after eating them.
