Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. When spring comes, the yellow-margined turtle has begun to wake up after a long hibernation of 3-5 months. The first feeding in spring is crucial. Many turtle owners have stored a lot of love and food for 3-5 months, looking forward to showing off their skills at the first meal in spring. Since the Yellow Marginal Turtle does not eat anything during hibernation, its gastrointestinal body is in a full dormancy and heart-nourishing stage, so the turtle's intestines and stomach are also in the dormant period and are relatively weak. Therefore, the first feeding when spring comes out of hibernation is really very important. In addition to In addition to stimulating the yellow-margined turtle's appetite so that the turtle's intestines and stomach can slowly revive and become active, it is also necessary to avoid overfeeding due to impatient love for the turtle.

So what kind of food can the yellow-margined turtle be fed as its first meal after it goes to sleep?

1. Feeding an appropriate amount of bananas and tomatoes is beneficial to the intestinal peristalsis of yellow-margined turtles and enhances gastric motility.

Bananas themselves are rich in riboflavin, thiamine and a variety of vitamins. Thiamine can help promote digestion, enhance appetite, and protect the nervous system. Bananas are also rich in energy-rich turtles. Magnesium for muscle relaxation. The vitamin B5 in tomatoes can effectively maintain the normal secretion of digestive juices in the digestive tract and promote the production of red blood cells. In addition, the malic acid, citric acid and sugars in tomatoes help digestion and absorption and promote growth. Lycopene in tomatoes has its own antibacterial and bacteriostatic effects. Tomatoes are cool in nature, sweet and sour in taste. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, they have the effects of cooling blood, reducing swelling, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production.

Notes: 1. When buying tomatoes and bananas, pay attention to buying tomatoes and bananas that are naturally ripe and not damaged or rotten to avoid carrying bacteria due to rot. 2. Cut the tomatoes into pieces before feeding, peel the bananas and cut them into small pieces with a knife to make it easier for the yellow-margined turtles to eat. 3. Pay attention to check the food intake of the turtle after feeding tomatoes and bananas for 2-3 hours, so that the feeding amount can be appropriately adjusted next time. At the same time, it is necessary to promptly remove the remaining food in the turtle pond to prevent uneaten tomatoes and bananas from rotting and breeding bacteria in the pond.

2. The special puffed turtle food for yellow-margined turtles is relatively easy to digest.

The special turtle food for yellow-margined turtles is relatively easy to digest, and the unique fragrance of yellow-margined turtle food can induce yellow-margined turtles to eat after sleeping.

You can also add an appropriate amount of multivitamins, isatis root powder, andrographis paniculata powder and other Chinese herbal medicines to the water of the soaked feed to effectively prevent gastroenteritis, colds or pneumonia in yellow-margined turtles. 2. The feeding amount is 60% of the amount eaten before hibernation. Place soaked turtle food in areas where turtles gather to attract yellow-margined turtles to eat. 3. Check its eating status after 2-3 hours of feeding, and take out the uneaten turtle food to avoid the growth of bacteria.

3. An appropriate amount of meat or earthworms, about 30%, is the first choice to enhance the immunity of yellow-margined turtles.

The Yellow Marginal Turtle is fed the first meal after hibernation in spring. Before hibernation, it is enough to eat about 30% of the normal amount of meat or earthworms. Although meat can enhance appetite and improve its own immunity, But at the same time, because meat is more difficult to digest than fruits and vegetables, it is more likely to cause gastroenteritis if overfed.
