turtle food is usually put directly into the water. At present, the turtles allowed to be kept are generally terrapins or semi-terrapins. One of the characteristics of these turtles is that they must eat in the water. They are not fed on land, so they need to put the turtles in the water and then throw the feed to them so that they will eat. Because it eats and drinks in the water, the water quality is not good to maintain, and the water must be changed regularly.
1. Choice of feed: First of all, we should pay attention to the choice of feed for tortoises. Although tortoises are omnivorous animals, they also have their own preferences. Some like to eat meat, some like to eat vegetarian food, and feed appropriate food according to their feeding habits. Of course, do not use only one kind of feed, the combination of meat and vegetables can ensure comprehensive nutrition.
2. Feeding frequency: The feeding frequency of tortoises in different periods is different. Young tortoises must be fed every day so that they can grow fast. Adult turtles can be fed once every two or three days, and do not feed too much, if it grows too fat, it is easy to suffer from some diseases, looks not beautiful.
3. Pay attention to cleaning: As the tortoise eats in the water, food thrown into the water will affect the water quality, so it is necessary to clean up in time, fish out the food residues it has not finished eating, and at the same time, pay attention to changing the water to provide a clean and hygienic growth environment.
