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.

=====================
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.
