Turtles can eat apples. This kind of animal's food habit itself is quite miscellaneous, besides eats the meat, the fruit, the vegetable, the grain and so on, they may accept. It should be noted that if the apple is too big to feed, the turtle can not bite it open, so be sure to cut up a little, the size of the turtle food is about the same, so as to ensure the entrance, and will not choke it.
1. Feeding time: Feeding the turtle is usually done when it is warm. Because tortoises belong to poikilothermic animals, their activities are limited by temperature, high temperature tends to be more active, and their appetite is larger. If the temperature is low, they will not like to eat. Feeding is usually after 9:00 a.m. and no later than 3:00 p.m.
2. How much to feed: The tortoise does not have a large appetite. Generally, it is fed about 5-10% of its body weight each time. It should be noted that, in addition to the young tortoise that can be fed every day, the adult tortoise usually needs to be fed once every few days. If the tortoise is fed too frequently and in a large amount, it is very easy for it to suffer from gastroenteritis.
3. Precautions: Because the terrapin must eat in the water, it is easy to cause the water to rot, and its excrement will also pollute the water. Therefore, after feeding, we need to pay attention to check the water situation, fish out the food residues in time, and change the water if the water is dirty.
