Map turtles are not picky eaters, because they are omnivorous and can eat a lot of food. If it is a wild map turtle species, they will eat some aquatic animals and aquatic plants in the water. If they are raised in a family, they can eat more food. The main animals are mollusks, snails, insects, small fish, shrimp and so on. Among these foods, the map turtle's favorite is mollusks and snails. In addition, some meat used for cooking at home is also possible, such as pork, chicken, etc., and the remaining animal viscera is also OK. Vegetables, such as lettuce, etc.
Animal feed contains the most nutrients, which can be used as staple food when feeding, and plants can be fed irregularly to supplement some nutrients that are lacking in animal feed. However, if you are busy at ordinary times, you can feed them turtle feed directly, which will be relatively convenient. However, we need to pay attention not to feed this feed for a long time, because it contains additives, when feeding this feed, we also need to buy good quality, can not feed inferior feed.
When breeding the map turtle, pay attention to the frequency of feeding. When map turtles are younger, their growth rate is faster, and it is best to feed them every day. This can provide adequate nutrition and promote their growth and development. But don't feed them too much to avoid overfeeding them. As the turtles get older, and as they become adults, their growth rate slows, and they can be fed every other day or two, but the amount of food can be increased accordingly.
