The pig-nosed turtle is an omnivore favoring plant food, mainly eating fallen fruit, leaves, flowers, and various aquatic plants in nature, plus some animal food such as mollusks, insect larvae, crustaceans, and fish.
In captivity, feed more plant food: greenery, celery, cabbage, cucumber, apple; and animal food such as small fish, shrimp, organ meat, mealworms, and bloodworms.
