The feeds for raising turtles are relatively wide. Strictly speaking, turtles have more feeds and a wider range of recipes than turtles. They mainly include: animal feeds, plant feeds and mixed feeds. ?Generally feed once every 1 to 2 days.

First, animal feed: Animal feed has high protein and fat content, which can promote the growth rate of turtles and increase the number of eggs and eggs, such as earthworms, silkworm pupae, snails, mealworms, and small fish. Shrimp, snails, clams and shellfish, as well as animal scraps, pig blood, offal, moths, insects, etc. (can be trapped using a black light at night).

The second is plant-based feed: There is a wide range of plant-based feed varieties, and local resources can be used to raise turtles according to local conditions, such as bean cakes, peanut cakes, corn, sorghum, wheat, and even rice and millet. There are also fruits and vegetables that can be fed to turtles appropriately, such as pumpkins, winter melons, watermelon peels, apple peels, duckweed, tender grasses, and potatoes.

The third is mixed feed: These feeds are comprehensive in nutrition and come in many varieties. They are divided into juvenile, young and adult turtle feeds according to the growth stage. The effect of feeding turtles with these feeds is very significant, and their growth rate, egg laying rate, egg amount, hatching rate, and survival rate are also improved.

Feeding skills:

The life of a turtle is closely related to the climate. It starts feeding in early April every year; the feeding activity reaches its peak from June to August. , gain weight the fastest; after the temperature gradually drops in October, their food intake begins to decrease. When the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, they stop eating and enter the hibernation period. Therefore, feeding should be carried out according to the growth characteristics of the turtle. Generally, the following points are required:

(1) Timing. The temperature is low in spring and autumn, and the turtle is not active in the morning and evening, and only feeds around noon, so it is best to feed feed at 8-9 am. From Grain Rain to the Autumn Equinox is the peak feeding season for turtles. It is the peak of summer. Turtles generally do not move at noon and are mostly active for food between 17 and 19 pm. Therefore, it is better to feed between 16 and 17 pm. Timing allows the turtle to eat on time, obtain more nutrients, and also ensure that the feed is fresh.

(2) Positioning. Set up fixed feeding points in sections along the shore of the pool. The food table at the feeding point should be close to the water surface to facilitate the turtles to swallow water and bite food. The purpose of feeding food at a certain location is to allow the turtle to develop a habit, making it easier for it to find food, while also making it easier to observe the turtle's activities and check its feeding status.

(3) Qualification. The feed should be kept fresh. After feeding, leftover food should be removed in time to prevent the feed from rotting and smelly, affecting the turtle's appetite and polluting the water quality.

(4) Quantitative. The amount of feed depends on the temperature, water quality, the turtle's appetite and its activity, and it is appropriate to have a little leftover for the meal.
