The yellow-headed temple turtle is an omnivorous animal. It mainly eats plant food and rarely eats meat. Usually captive-bred turtles will grow faster than wild turtles, and captive-bred turtles can be matched with suitable edible feeds, which will speed up their growth to a certain extent.

When feeding, I mainly feed some green ones Vegetables, and some fresh fruit, to supplement it with the nutrients it needs. In the peak growth period of juvenile turtles, in addition to feeding them some small fish and shrimp to increase nutrition, they can also be fed with appropriate feed, which can avoid the lack of nutrients and allow them to grow faster.
