If the tortoise is in summer, it is usually fed once every 1-2 days. This animal's hunger tolerance is relatively strong, so feeding is not too frequent, and generally related to temperature, if above 24 C, can be fed frequently. If the temperature is within 20-24 C, it can be fed once every 2-3 days. If the temperature is lower, feeding once a week will be fine.
1. Choose feed: There are many kinds of turtles, and their feeding habits are not the same. Choose the right feed according to their kinds. For most terrapins, fresh fish and shrimp are the most suitable, and trained turtles can also be fed a little turtle food. It should be noted that young turtles can not eat fat, otherwise they will have indigestion.
2. How much to feed: You don't have to feed the tortoise too much, because its body size is restricted by the tortoise shell. If you eat too much and grow too fast, you will become very deformed if you don't have time to change the shell. It is usually about 5-10% of its body weight per feeding, and if it is turtle food, the amount of feeding can be about the same as its head.
3. Precautions: As the tortoise eats in the water, it is easy to cause deterioration of the water body. Therefore, it is necessary to clean up after feeding. In addition to removing the residual bait, it is better to change the water, so as not to cause illness due to poor water quality.
