Semana nga pagkaon alang sa mga pawikan

To properly feed turtles, you need to study what they eat in nature. Even the diets of different species of land turtles vary greatly depending on their habitats. So, for example, steppe turtles eat more succulents and steppe plants in nature, but radiant and star-shaped turtles eat vegetables, fruits, and flowers more often. Aquatic turtles do not often eat fish, more often they are content with insects, snails, tadpoles.

The diet below is recommended based on the feeding results of many tortoise owners, but is not mandatory.

The specified menu may be adjusted depending on the recommendations of experienced turtle keepers. On Sunday (Sun) it is better to do a fasting day and not feed the turtles at all.

Importante:

Do not overfeed, especially young animals
Feed no more than once a day in the morning or afternoon (not in the evening)
After half an hour for water or after an hour for land, remove the food
If she does not want to eat, but at the same time she is healthy – do not force, but do not indulge only with what she loves
