Smith leatherback turtles are omnivorous turtles. They can provide turtle food, as well as some meat and vegetables. The choice of turtle food can be semi-water turtle food. Some water turtle food is not very nutritious. For it, feed it a little more food in the month before hibernation.

It is worth mentioning that Smith leatherbacks love water hyacinths. Water hyacinth is a tank of green water that will not be eaten like vegetable leaves after eating. It does not seep out of green juice, so it is very convenient to maintain water quality. In addition, they like to eat semi-water turtle food, and they also eat other types of turtle food, but considering that they are omnivorous and partial tortoises after all, we do not want them to consume too much protein, so semi-water turtle food is more suitable for them.
