Small turtles are carnivorous and vegetarian animals. They can eat rice, but it must be noted that each species of turtles has different preferences for food. For example, most water turtles prefer carnivorous animals, while most tortoises prefer vegetarianism.
In the process of feeding, attention should be paid to the diversity of feeding. In order to meet the nutritional needs of small turtles, too much rice and fine feed should not be given at one time, mainly turtle food and animal feed, such as some small fish, shrimp, earthworms and breadworms.
When feeding the little turtle, the food should be broken up, because the turtle's mouth is too small, and the food is too large, which may cause them to eat normally. The food should also be put in the water, so that the little turtle can eat normally. Generally, feeding the food once a day is enough.
Feeding environment of small turtles
Put the tortoise in a water tank with proper size, and add a proper amount of water to the water tank, and the water depth should just cover the tortoise's back, so as to ensure that the tortoise can put its head out of the water to breathe. In addition, the pet owner can also put a smooth stone in the water tank so that the turtle can climb on it to dry his back.
When the sun is right, the pet owner can put the water tank on the terrace to let the turtle bask in the sun, but pay attention to strictly prevent the little turtle from climbing out of the water tank or being attacked by birds or other animals.
In addition, some pet owners may plant some algae in the water tank for turtles to entertain or eat, but they must pay attention to maintaining a good environment in the water tank to prevent the water quality of the water tank from being polluted and stinking.
