1, animal feed: Although pearl tortoises are omnivorous animals, they prefer animal feed. When raising artificially, they can be fed with live bait such as small fish, shrimp, tadpoles, earthworms, loaches and snails, and they can also be fed with meat such as chicken, beef, mutton and animal viscera. These foods contain a lot of protein and fat, which can meet most nutrients needed for their daily development.
2. Plant feed: Although they don't like plant feed, breeders should feed them regularly to ensure their nutritional balance. The plant feed suitable for pearl turtle is lettuce, spinach, rape, cabbage, cabbage, apples, grapes, bananas and so on.
3. Synthetic feed: If breeders don't have enough time, they can choose to feed turtle food. However, breeders need to choose some turtle food with high quality, and pay attention to not feeding too much.
2. How often do pearl turtles feedThe feeding methods of pearl turtles are different at different stages. The feeding frequency of pearl turtles in infancy needs to be higher, and it is best to feed them once a day. Because they have a large demand for food at this stage, but their appetite is relatively small, the breeder needs a small amount of feeding many times to ensure their adequate nutrition.
After the pearl turtle reaches adulthood, it can be fed once every 2-3 days. Because they will eat more and need less nutrients as adults, breeders can reduce the frequency of feeding.
