Pet turtles are generally mainly terrapin or semi-terrapin, although they are omnivorous animals, but basically prefer meat, only tortoises like to eat vegetarian. Usually, you can feed fish, shrimp, snails, clams and other meat, but also with vegetables, otherwise it will lead to malnutrition. In addition, in order to prevent it from suffering from soft shell disease, it should be supplemented with calcium in the feed from time to time.
1. Feeding time: When the temperature is a little higher, the low temperature will affect its appetite and cause it not to eat. Usually the morning feeding time in 8-9 o'clock, if the temperature is lower season, you can postpone the feeding time, wait until noon to feed.
2. Feeding times: It is not necessary to feed pet turtles too often at ordinary times, because their metabolism is very slow, and it is easy to be indigestible if they are fed too much. Usually, it is OK to feed them once every three to five days. In the winter, the low temperature will cause it to hibernate, when it will stop eating and do not need to be fed.
3. Precautions: After feeding the pet turtle, change the water for it every few hours, because it will excrete after eating. If the water is not changed and cleaned in time, the water quality will deteriorate, which is harmful to its health. The water should be changed completely, and the temperature of the new water and the old water should be the same.
