The feeding frequency of Brazilian red-eared turtles needs to be determined according to their growth stage. Under normal feeding conditions, the feeding frequency of young turtles needs to be higher, preferably once a day. Because young turtles eat a small amount of food, but they have a large demand for food, so they need a small amount of feeding for many times to ensure their adequate nutrition. When they are adults, they can reduce the frequency of feeding, about once every 2-3 days.
How often and how do Brazilian red-eared turtles feed 1. How often do Brazilian red-eared turtles feed

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.

1. 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.
