what to feed baby turtles??

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.
