Yellow-throated turtle is a reptile, which mainly feeds on plants, insects and small vertebrates. In the wild, they can obtain various nutrients by foraging and adapt to different environments and seasonal changes. In artificial feeding, the choice of feed is very important.

Breeders can choose to feed the yellow-throated turtle with all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, such as vegetables, lettuce, pumpkins, carrots, etc., to ensure that it can get enough vitamins and minerals. At the same time, they can also be fed with high-protein foods such as grass carp, shrimp and egg white to meet their needs in protein. However, it should be noted that yellow-throated turtles have a high demand for fish food.

2. Suitable food

For people who are breeding yellow-throated turtles for the first time, they can choose some convenient and easily available artificial feed. These feeds contain various nutrients and can keep freshness for a long time. But in general, self-made feed is healthier and more palatable.

Yellow-throated turtles should pay attention to controlling the proportion of various foods in their diet. For example, you should not overfeed foods with high protein content, and long-term intake in large quantities will cause bone diseases. In addition, excellent food should not be fed, which may easily cause diseases such as indigestion of turtles.

3. Drinking water requirements

In addition to the choice of food, yellow-throated turtles also have relatively high requirements for water. In the process of feeding, the water quality in the container should be kept clean and the clean water source should be replaced regularly.

The containers for drinking water for yellow-throated turtles should be made of materials with antibacterial and antiseptic functions, so as to reduce the growth of bacteria. It should be noted that the frequency and quantity of drinking water by yellow-throated turtles vary with seasons and environments, and breeders can make appropriate adjustments according to their own experience.

4. Precautions for food

During the feeding period, pay attention to the diet of the yellow-throated turtle, and adjust the feed type and feeding amount appropriately to make it get sufficient nutrition and satisfy its appetite.

Finally, remind the breeder not to feed human food to the yellow-throated turtle at will. Many common foods not only have low nutritional value, but also contain a lot of salt, sugar and other ingredients, which will have adverse effects on the health of yellow-throated turtles.
