[XedOut]

i just got two baby RES turles only a few weeks old and about the size
of a fifty cent piece, what do i feed them?? i have one smaller turtle
year old and a bigger turtle i have had for couple years now, they are
doing fine and i feed them mealworms, shrimp, snails from the garden
and they eat the koi food but what do i feed the baby's??

Babies RES need more protein than the
adults do so I'd feed them the same stuff,
you might have to chop the snails a bit or
find small ones.
Also worms, snails, crickets, cooked chicken.
Collard and mustard greens for veggies, carrots,
apples, strawberries for veggies.

Live blackworms are a favorite.

Hi Robyn!

What are blackworms and where do you
get them?

A friend of mine raises black worms to feed her betta fish, you can read

=====================
The baby mud turtles in my pond (before they were netted) would came and eat
the koi and GF food. They grew like crazy on these pellets and were very
tame. They were all relocated to the lake about a mile away.
