The diet of domestic turtles needs to be diversified, because a single diet is easy to cause digestive problems. Tortoise can eat all kinds of meat rich in protein, including chicken, fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish and so on. It is common to feed fish to turtles, which can be carp, eel, goby, etc. Pay attention to the stinging and fishy smell of fish. At the same time, you can also feed the tortoise some canned fish, but not too much.
In addition, it is also a good choice to provide turtles with some low-fat chicken or chicken liver, which can provide turtles with the nutrition they need. However, it should be noted that chicken can't be fed more. Too much chicken can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort in turtles.

Besides meat, turtles can eat many vegetables and fruits, such as lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, spinach, apples and so on. These fruits and vegetables can provide turtles with vitamins and minerals, which is beneficial to keep them healthy.
In addition, turtles can be fed some foods rich in calcium, such as turtle drum, shrimp skin, shellfish and so on. These foods contribute to the healthy development of tortoise bones.
