1. Diet matching

It is very important to provide a variety of food to the little turtle. It can eat grass, leaves, aquatic plants, bugs, aquatic animals, and more. It is recommended to choose different types of food to match. For example, the daily meal menu can include water hyacinth, green vegetables, radish, bitter gourd, crayfish, fish, etc.

It is recommended not to feed the same food continuously, but to rotate different foods every day. If you do not have the conditions to provide so much food, you can choose to buy related nutritional supplements, such as fish meat paste, insect meat paste, etc., to supplement the nutrients required by the little turtle.

2. Cellulose and protein

Little turtles need to take in enough fiber and protein. Fiber helps the turtle digest and prevents constipation, while protein aids the turtle's growth and development. It is recommended to choose vegetables rich in fiber such as spinach, rape, celery, etc., and also provide foods rich in protein, such as fish, insects, crayfish, etc.

3. Calcium and vitamins

The bones of small turtles need enough calcium to develop healthily. You can buy calcium food or calcium sand on the market to help your little turtle get enough calcium. At the same time, little turtles also need to take in vitamins, such as vitamins A, D3, E, etc. These vitamins are beneficial to the healthy growth of little turtles. It is recommended to add some vitamin-containing grasses to food, such as alfalfa, scallions, etc.
