When breeding the maple leaf turtle, feeding is an important link, and attention should be paid to the type of food. This kind of turtle belongs to omnivorous turtles. They can eat a wide variety of food, can be broadly divided into: animal food and plant food two categories. Animal sex food basically has all sorts of insect kind, shellfish to wait, lean pork, animal viscera they also like to eat very much. However, before feeding, we should first disinfect, then wash, cut up, and then feed. It should be noted that they prefer live bait, such as crickets, earthworms, mealworms and so on.
While feeding animal food, plant food is also essential, and there are many kinds. There are cereals such as rice, corn and so on; Fruits such as mango, banana, etc; There are also vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes and so on. If you are busy at ordinary times, you can feed some special turtle feed, which is convenient and time-saving, but you should buy better quality. In short, pay attention to the diversity of food, avoid food too single. Try to choose the food they like and feed them alternately with a combination of foods to ensure their health and growth.
During the breeding of the maple leaf turtle, pay attention to the frequency of feeding. In the young period of maple leaf turtle, because it is in the period of growth and development, the growth rate is relatively fast, try to feed once a day. But at this time to pay attention to the amount of feeding, because their size is still relatively small, so do not feed too much at one time, so as not to feed too full. When they grow up, the growth rate will slow down, so they can change to 2-3 days. Because they are larger at this time, the amount of feeding should be relatively increased.
