Feeding is an aspect of breeding Brazilian turtles that requires special attention. First of all, the frequency of feeding needs to be paid attention to, which can be adjusted reasonably according to the different stages of the growth of Brazilian turtles. They grow fastest when they are young, so we need to feed them enough food every day, twice a day in the morning and twice a day in the evening.
After they grow up a little bit, probably when their body length grows to about 5 centimeters, their growth rate will slow down to a certain extent, at this time, they can be fed once a day. After they grow bigger and even become adults, they can be fed once a day or twice a day. However, the amount of feeding at different stages is not necessarily, as they become larger, the amount of feeding also needs to be increased. In addition, seasonal changes may also affect the appetite of Brazilian turtles, and their appetite will be reduced when the water temperature is relatively low, so the frequency and amount of feeding can be adjusted accordingly.
In addition to the frequency of feeding Brazilian turtles, we should also pay attention to the type of feeding. Although Brazilian turtles are omnivorous and can eat all kinds of food, in order to make them develop better, it is better to provide the most nutritious food. Among all kinds of food, animal feed contains the most nutrients, especially calcium, which can be used as staple food, such as meat, fish and shrimp. Before feeding, you need to do a good job of disinfection, and it is best to cut them up or cut them into small pieces before feeding. But don't just feed this kind of food, usually can also be combined with other kinds of food, the right amount of vegetables and grains on the growth of the Brazilian turtle is also very helpful.
