(1) timing. The temperature is low in spring and autumn, and the tortoise is not active in the morning and evening. It only feeds around noon, so it is appropriate to feed it at 8-9 am. From Grain Rain to the autumnal equinox is the peak season for turtles to eat, and it is in the summer. Generally, turtles are inactive at noon, and they usually move for food in the afternoon 17-1 19, so it is appropriate to feed in the afternoon 16-1 17. Timing can make turtles feed on time, get more nutrition, and ensure fresh feed.

(2) positioning. Fixed feeding points are set along the bank of the pool in sections, and the feeding table of the feeding point should be close to the water surface, which is convenient for turtles to swallow water and bite. The purpose of feeding feed in a fixed position is to make turtles get into the habit, so that they can find food conveniently, and at the same time, it is convenient to observe the activities of turtles and check their feeding situation.

(3) qualitative determination. The feed should be kept fresh, and after feeding, the leftover food should be removed in time to prevent the feed from rotting and stinking, affecting the appetite of turtles and polluting the water quality.

(4) quantitative. The feeding amount of feed depends on the temperature, water quality, the appetite and activities of turtles, and it depends on the appetite and activities, and it is appropriate to have a little surplus in the meal. Generally, feed every 1 ~ 2 days/time.

Feeding begins at the beginning of April every year; From June to August, the feeding activity reached its peak and the weight gain rate was the fastest. From 10, the food intake began to decrease, and when the temperature dropped below 10℃, it stopped eating and entered the hibernation period.

Tortoise's food

1, feed it with tweezers when feeding it fish. Carnivorous feeding, vegetarian feeding cucumber and tomato. Turtles eat a wide range of food, including rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects and snails.

2. In artificial feeding, in order to meet all kinds of nutrients needed by turtle growth and avoid poor growth and anorexia caused by single feed, various feeds should be adopted, such as fish, shrimp, snails and mussels in animal feed and rice, wheat and corn in plant feed. In order for the tortoise to fully digest these feeds, before feeding them, it is necessary to crush corn and peas and soak them for about 2 hours, and other large pieces of food must be chopped before feeding them.
