What you can't feed your pet turtle: sausage, minced meat, hot dogs - prohibited

Turtles require close attention and care, including proper nutrition.

Not everyone knows how to properly feed a turtle so that it feels good.

What foods are good and bad to feed a turtle

A large group of turtles are herbivores. The diet of such pets should include unsweetened vegetables and fruits, plants and berries.

Leaves, salads and edible flowers should make up the bulk of the diet.

For predatory turtles, you can create a diet of lean fish, beef, chicken, and fish liver.

Seafood does not necessarily need to be processed and can be given to your turtle raw.

Mistakes in turtle nutrition

If the diet is incorrect, turtles will grow poorly, be inactive, and often get sick.

Eggs, bread, milk, beans, peas, white cabbage, garlic, spicy herbs, nuts, and cherries remain prohibited.

For predatory turtles, the following products are prohibited: pork, beef, sausage, minced meat, hot dogs, cheeses, and bread.
