Matters needing attention

Turtles can be divided into five types according to their living environment: terrestrial sea turtles, aquatic sea turtles, semi-aquatic sea turtles, sea turtles and benthic sea turtles. Aquatic turtles are generally omnivorous, semi-aquatic turtles are mostly carnivorous, terrestrial turtles are mostly herbivorous, and ordinary cultured turtles are omnivorous.

2. In order to make the soft-shelled turtle grow fast, we should often feed it together, and mix animal foods such as small fish and shrimp with some plant foods such as tender leaves of vegetables to achieve comprehensive and rich nutrition and make the soft-shelled turtle grow faster.

3. Feed should be kept fresh. 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.
