Feeding Your Turtle


Category: General
Posted by: Suresh

The type of food that you give to your turtle will depend on the specie that you have. In general though, most turtles will be happy with eating insects, small fish and dark, leafy greens. You can also buy canned turtle food, pelleted turtle food or freeze-dried mealworms from stores that sell pet food in Milperra. Although some turtles may have developed a taste for a particular food, it is still best to offer them a variety of foods over their lifespan.

In addition, you also don’t need to feed your pet turtle everyday unlike most other types of pets. Generally, adult turtles should be fed at least four to five times a week only. Baby turtles on the other hand should be fed daily. You should also get yourself a calcium supplement and dust their food with it at least twice a year.

Also, keep in mind that turtles are messy eaters. This is why it is recommended that you get a separate feeding tank for the turtle and not feed them in their home tank. This will help to keep the home tank clean, and at the same time help you monitor the turtle’s food intake.
