different periods. If it is a newly born turtle seedling, it should be fed 2-3 times a day, so that it can grow rapidly. When they grow up, the frequency of feeding will be reduced, and the young turtles can be fed once a day. Adult tortoises have strong hunger tolerance and slow metabolism, so they do not need to be fed frequently, usually once every other day.
should we pay attention to when feeding? 1. Time: First of all, we should pay attention to the time when feeding the tortoise. Because the tortoise is a poikilothermic animal, its appetite is affected by the ambient temperature, so it is usually fed when it is warm at noon, after 9 o'clock in the morning and before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so that it can eat.
2. Dosage: The dosage must be controlled during feeding. Different periods of the turtle, the size of the appetite is different, the simplest way to measure is to feed the volume of food about the size of its head, so that it can be fed. In addition, you can also weigh its weight, the amount of food is generally 5% -10% of its weight.
3. Clean up: Because the turtle may not be able to eat all the food, for example, fish bones are often left after feeding, so it is necessary to clean up the food residue after feeding. At the same time, because it will excrete every other time after eating, it also needs to clean up its excrement.
