Chop up celery and lettuce
They will also eat earth worms and small fish depending on what size they are. but if you put it in front of them they will probably eventually start eating it.
I am sorry, but I extremely disagree. Turtle are omnivores when adults. Not strictly herbivorous. When younger, they are pretty much carnivores. I suggest the ratio of meat to veggies as a 5:3 on an adult snapping turtle, however, this ratio works quite well with pretty much any other adult turtle, including painted, red eared, yellow bellied, soft shelled, and others. You should also put plenty of calcium in the water, especially for snappers since they have an extremely thick shell, so that they don't suffer from calcium malnutrition, which weakens the shell and in some cases, kills the turtle. For any turtle, though I doubt it will make a difference in snappers, feed it a bit of koi or cichlid chow, because they are packed with carotene, which brings out reds and yellows on the shell and body beatifully. Spinach has it in it also, but I wouldn't feed it too much of it. For a daily diet, I suggest you feed it a mix of foods. I mix my turtles diet and give him reptomin pellets, a bit of freeze dried shrimp and krill, mealworms, freshwater snails(which have calcium in their shells as a bonus), minnows, cichlid sticks, which I break each stick into forths for easier swallowing, chopped lettuce, and I make sure there's aquatic plants available at all times in his cage. They seem to always know when they need veggies. Once their over 3 inches and have been weaned onto lettuce that is. Try not to feed it too much peaches, spinich, or apples, because these kinds of food drain the turtle of calcium. In fact, I don't recommend feeding them those at all. Also, I don't suggest hand feeding snapping turtles. Ever. No matter how long people have been breeding them, snappers are aggresive by nature. When they're younger, they're a bit more friendly, but don't get too attatched, because they will get meaner and more territorial. Other turtles, especially red eared, are very friendly, and I suggest feeding them bits of food by hand. At first, they will be kind of curious, or maybe even afraid, and smell the scent of your hand and the food. Eventually they will gladly even take a fish out of your fingers. This is called scent training, and it's especially important if you ever want to take them out of their cage.
Snapping turtles are carnivorous (they eat meat) they can basically eat any type of meat. (As it gets older it might try to take off one of your fingers.) You probably shouldn't keep it when it is an adult, since they are aggressive.
Snapping turtles will eat just about anything. A healthy diet consists of fish (live feeder fish), insects, worms, leafy vegetables.
My science teacher feeds her pet turtle veggies.
i feed mine raw fish, frogs from outside, toads, raw chicken ,raw beef, worms, but i dont feed it vegies my snapper is greedy
Put it in a large bowl chop it up first though or the chunks will be to big. Then pour a small amount of milk in for more mush feeling.
you feed it veggies
with food
Yes it is healthy but you have to hand feed it
yes; there is also an alligator snapping turtle
aligator snapping turtle
the phylum for the snapping turtle is Chordata
If you feed it to it when its really young and teach it to it should but if it gets a bit too old it will be difficult but it is possible.
Gulf snapping turtle was created in 1994.
Yes. Adult snapping turtles will eat baby snapping turtles.
If snapping turtles have salt the tongue of the snapping turtle will dry out and the turtle will have no interest to eat.
Yes, there is a species of an alligator snapping turtle. sammi was here!
No, b/c the sea turtle lives a lot longer than the snapping turtle.
Alligator snapping turtles are larger and have much stronger bites. Alligator snapping turtle also live longer than common snapping turtles. Alligator snapping turtles can live to be 100 at the longest while the common snapping turtle lives to be around 70 at the maximum. Alligator snapping turtles have smaller shells and bigger heads. Common snapping turtles have the oppisite.
They are all types of turtles : the snapping turtle, sea turtle, and box turtle.
