Cane forest turtles have a wide range of diets, including rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails, etc. In artificial feeding, in order to meet the various nutrients required for the growth of cane forest turtles and avoid poor growth and development and anorexia due to a single feed, a variety of feeds should be used, such as fish and shrimp, snails, and mussels in animal feeds. And rice, wheat, corn, etc. in plant feed.

The cane tortoises are usually herbivorous in nature, although in captivity they sometimes also eat meat. Feeding cane forest turtles a mix of fruits, vegetables, and kale leaves is best two to three times a week. But don't feed meat to juvenile and juvenile cane tortoises.

Most juvenile and juvenile cane tortoises prefer tomatoes to any other food, and tomatoes are the best choice for those picky eaters to eat regularly. Vitamin supplementation is usually not necessary if mixed vegetables are fed. Calcium and phosphate supplementation is required for juvenile and juvenile cane forest turtles.
