CATDOLL : CATDOLL: I have two big alligator snapping turtles. How many loaches do I feed them every day? I always feel like they are not full. I feed them as much as they eat. I also have a small red-eared slider turtle that doesn't eat turtle food.

There is no compulsion to feed.

A moderate sense of hunger is good for turtles.

You can change several feeding

2. Is it good for alligator snapping turtles to always eat loaches?

Of course. Loach is rich in nutritional value. Snapping turtles grow fast and are healthier and have stronger resistance. If conditions permit, feed loach.

3. How to raise alligator snapping turtles?

Alligator snapping turtles are timid, so try to change their living environment as little as possible. The water temperature should be kept at around 27-31 degrees. Small loaches can be fed as food, but they must be alive. Food should generally be put out at night, because alligator snapping turtles are used to hunting at night. Another issue is the water level. Alligator snapping turtles are deep-water turtles, but since they lack the ability to swim in their juvenile stage, it is recommended to place driftwood or larger pebbles in the tank so that alligator snapping turtles can come ashore to breathe. However, the water level should be relatively deep, and can exceed 5-6 times the height of the carapace, because alligator snapping turtles are prone to back collapse after living in shallow water for a long time and growing up.

4. May I ask how do you guys feed alligator snapping turtles and loaches?

Loaches are cunning and slippery. Do you think your big alligator carapace can eat them? I suggest you kill them half to death and let them eat you.

5. Is it good for small alligator turtles to eat loach fry?

It can exercise the big head. The nutrition of loach is higher than that of feed fish and it is also more affordable.
