Because of its medicinal properties, the money turtle is a valuable Chinese medicinal material, so it has huge economic value and is expensive. Therefore, when we raise the money turtle, we must be careful and give it the most suitable and best feeding method. The proportion of medium feed is particularly important, so what kind of feeding does the money turtle need when feeding?

Money tortoise

There are two main types of feed required by the money tortoise: animal feed and plant feed. In addition, there are mixed feeds. At present, some farmers will mix the feed eaten by turtles with the feed eaten by fish to feed the money turtles, and they have also received very good results.

Let's first introduce the plant-based feed: The variety of the plant-based feed that the turtle can eat is very wide, but the plant-based food varies greatly from place to place. Use local plant resources to raise money turtles according to local conditions. However, because of the current logistics and transportation and the result of regional urbanization, we have more choices even if the food is far from different places. Because the tortoise is omnivorous, fruit and vegetable plants can also be appropriately fed to the tortoise, such as pumpkin, winter melon, watermelon peel, apple peel, duckweed, tender grass and potatoes, etc. Banana is the favorite of the tortoise, and neither does apples. Difference.

Next, let's take a look at the nutrient-rich animal feed: Feed as much animal feed as possible in the breeding of turtles, such as earthworms, silkworm chrysalis, snails, mealworms, small fish and shrimp, snails and mussels. , as well as animal scraps, pig blood, internal organs, moths, insects, etc. (can be trapped with black light at night). When feeding animal feeds, pay attention to the freshness, do not feed spoiled feeds, and pay more attention to prevent feeding turtles with dead fish and shrimp contaminated with pesticides or animal meat that has died from serious diseases. Also, avoid long-term feeding of high-fat foods. These feeds are chopped into small pieces before feeding. Finally, let's take a look at the more popular mixed feed feeding method: the mixed feed is nutritious and has many varieties. We can appropriately match its feed according to the age of the turtle. 1. The formula of the adult turtle, shrimp or fish (high protein) accounts for 72%, multivitamins 0.85%, mineral powder 1%, and the rest can be added to bananas, apples and other fruits. 2. The formula of the money turtle seedlings, because the digestion ability of the money turtle seedlings is not as good as that of the adult turtles. Therefore, in the food formula, it should be noted that the shrimp or fish should be broken before feeding. The proportion is high, which can be as high as 80%. Almost, the melons and fruits should also be chopped finely. It is recommended to use bananas.
