When turtles eat, they need tweezers to clamp the food with heavy fishy smell and shake around it to lure it to eat. Usually, the turtle just bought home can't eat directly, because it hasn't adapted to the new environment, especially when transported, and the bumpy road has a great impact on it, so it needs to rest for a period of time. Don't worry about the turtle will starve, it's strong hunger tolerance, a few days do not feed will not starve to death, but can improve appetite.
2. What can turtles eat1. Animal feed: Animal feed is mainly fed to turtles, because most turtles belong to water turtles, and water turtles prefer meat. The leftovers of small fish, shrimp, snail mussels, earthworms and livestock are usually used as feed, but they must not be cooked, which will not only cause nutrient loss, but also be difficult to digest.
2. Plant feed: Plant feed is mainly used to supplement nutrition, so it should be used with animal feed. Vegetables, fruits, etc. can usually be used, but don't choose too much water to avoid diarrhea after eating. It is best to wash before feeding, otherwise there may be pesticide residues.
3. Artificial feed: Artificial feed is generally turtle food. Various brands of turtle food are very good and nutritious, but the price is not cheap. The advantage of using turtle food is that it is convenient to control the food intake. According to its recommended feeding amount, there is no problem, and it does not do much harm to the water quality.
