The snake neck turtle is a completely carnivorous animal in the wild, and its vitality is very strong. It eats all kinds of mollusks, small fish, shrimps, worms, and insects. The wild turtle has a mixed diet, eating frogs, mice, fish, shrimp and crustaceans.
They can also be raised at home, is a very easy to domesticate turtles. In captivity, because they like to eat live bait, they can be fed mealworms, crickets, earthworms and so on. In addition, you can also feed them lean meat, small fish and shrimp or suckling mice, which are more interested in their food. However, if you are busy at ordinary times, you can feed them some turtle feed or dog food, which is relatively convenient. However, do not feed for too long, because these feeds contain additives. In addition, when we buy these feeds, we should pay special attention to the purchase of good quality, do not buy inferior feed, so as not to affect their health and growth.
Special attention should be paid to the frequency of snake-necked turtles feeding. When the snake neck turtle is young, because it is in its growth period, it is usually fed once a day to ensure adequate nutrition, so that it can grow healthily. However, we must pay attention to the amount of feeding not too much, so as not to feed too full. If there is excess food in the container, it needs to be cleaned up in time to avoid their impact on water quality. When the snake neck turtle grows up, its growth rate will slow down, then you can feed once every two days or three times a week, but the amount of feeding should be gradually increased, in a word, we must maintain their nutritional balance.
