The Burmese tortoise is an omnivorous herbivorous tortoise. They mainly take vegetables, melons and fruits as staple food, usually can feed some vegetables, fruits, occasionally can add a small amount of lean meat. It should be noted that vegetables and fruits need to be cleaned before feeding to prevent pesticide residues on them from endangering their health, and fruits with high water content should be fed as little as possible.
Generally, when they first come back, they will not take the initiative to eat. At this time, they can put some fragrant food in their feeding box, such as bananas, baked sweet potatoes or cucumbers, to guide them to eat actively. If they have not eaten for more than a week, they need to be fed to prevent them from being hungry for a long time and having poor growth problems.
The number of times the Burmese tortoise is fed is related to the ambient temperature around it. Under normal circumstances, when the temperature is maintained at 22-30 C, their activity is greater, and they can be fed normally at this stage, that is, once a day. If the temperature is in an unstable state in early spring and late autumn, their activity will decrease. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the number of feeding, feeding every other day is appropriate. Usually the amount of each feeding to their full is appropriate, can not be fed too much. When the season changes, they should be fed less food to prevent indigestion.
