The little turtle should be fed once a day. Adult turtles are usually fed once every 3-5 days, because adult turtles store enough energy, coupled with their own metabolism is very slow, so do not have to feed every day. But small turtles are different, they are still in the stage of development, so feeding is still frequent, but the amount of feeding can not be too large, each feeding and head can be about the same size.
1. Bait selection: Feeding small turtles depends on their feeding habits. Different turtles have different needs for bait in their infancy. Some turtles prefer meat, while others prefer meat. If you feed meat, you can't feed pork, too fat will affect digestion, generally choose fish and shrimp as bait. Vegetarian can feed the tender leaves of plants, do not use too old.
2. Feeding time: The appetite of the tortoise is often related to the temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher its appetite. Therefore, the feeding time is usually at noon, so that it can eat quickly. In addition, in winter, if the temperature is relatively low, it will often enter a state of hibernation, this time is not necessary to feed it.
3, Note: Feeding small turtles must not feed too much, because it needs to change in the growth process, if fed too much, grow too big, but the tortoise shell has not been replaced, it will grow very strange, and is not conducive to its health. In addition, the residual bait in the water should be removed as soon as possible so as not to pollute the water quality.
