In addition, when feeding live bait, it should be sterilized in advance to avoid bacteria or parasites in it, which will cause the yellow-rimmed turtle to get sick.

In the process of breeding yellow-margined sea turtles, in addition to vegetables, fruits and live bait, some artificial feeds can also be fed. However, it should be noted that it should not be fed in large quantities because of the blind pursuit of growth rate. Too much intake will not be conducive to the healthy growth of the yellow edged box turtle.

As an ectothermic animal, the digestive function of the yellow-margined box turtle changes with the change of temperature. Therefore, when the temperature is high, you can feed it once a day, and when the temperature is low, you can choose to feed it once every two to three days, and follow the principle of eating less and more meals. This can better protect the intestines of the yellow-rimmed turtles.
