Fire turtle hatchlings are carnivorous, and as they grow older, they become more plant-eating. When raised artificially, they can eat lean pork, animal offal, small fish, shrimp, earthworms, watermelon, vegetable leaves, bananas, etc. Fire turtles are highly mobile, but they do not fight with each other. They will not freeze to death below zero, and they are also very lively at 42°C. As long as they are well fed, they can gain 30 to 40 grams per month. June to July every year is the growth period of the fire turtle, and it often lays 1 to 10 eggs. The long diameter of the egg is 27.1~30.7 mm, and the short diameter is 13.9~16l mm. The eggs weigh 3.55 to 5 grams. The incubation period is 72 to 80 days. Fire turtles are very adaptable. Generally, as long as they strengthen their breeding and management, their survival rate is still relatively high.
