The Brazilian red-eared turtle is an omnivorous animal. They are never picky eaters. There are many kinds of food they can eat. Brazilian red-eared turtles like to eat a lot of animal food, such as earthworms, loaches, mussels, snails, silkworm pupae, fresh pork and animal viscera. Brazilian red-eared turtles are particularly fond of eating live food, such as live fish, shrimp, insects and so on.
Although the Brazilian red-eared turtle particularly likes live bait and meat food, because they eat omnivorous food, plant food is also essential. Plant foods are lettuce, cabbage, radish and so on. In addition, you can also feed some grains, such as wheat, rice, rice, soybeans and so on; There are also fruits, such as watermelon, apple, banana and so on. In a word, we should pay attention to balanced nutrition and not feed only one kind of food for a long time. If you are busy at ordinary times, you can also buy some turtle feed, which is convenient and time-saving. However, feed should not be fed for a long time, because feed contains additives, can not be used more, and some Brazilian red-eared turtles are not interested in turtle feed.
When breeding the Brazilian red-eared turtle, you should also pay attention to the frequency of feeding. If the Brazilian red-eared turtle is in its infancy, because it is in the period of growth and development, the growth rate is faster, it needs to supplement nutrition in time, and it needs to be fed once a day. However, do not feed too much at one time, so as not to overfeed. When the Brazilian red-eared turtles grow up, their growth rate slows down and they can be fed once every two days. However, considering their large size, the amount of feeding should be relatively increased.
