When breeding red-faced egg turtles, feeding them is a very important task. From the perspective of habit characteristics, the red-faced egg turtle is a kind of omnivorous tortoise species, and they can eat many kinds of food. However, judging from their preferences, they will prefer meat. Therefore, it is more appropriate to have meat as their staple food. Specifically, there are many varieties of meat, such as small fish, shrimp, insects, and various mollusks. Among them, the red shrimp species will contain astaxanthin, which is very helpful to the hair color of the red-faced egg turtle, so special attention should be paid to this type of food.

Of course, only meat is not acceptable. Raise red-faced egg turtles at home and feed them some vegetables and fruits. However, these two types of food can only be used as complementary food and cannot be fed too much. When feeding, special attention should be paid to reasonable matching, and meat and vegetarian food should be combined to feed. Even if it is meat, it is not possible to feed only one type of meat for a long time to prevent them from appearing anorexia. In addition, when the hatchlings are in the stage, their digestive function may not be perfect. At this time, they can feed less meat and use special turtle feed as their food.
