General Care Discussion :: Turtle Stopped Begging?

[astera12345]

So,i have a turtle about 3 inch i think.She is still happy swimming basking etc.She used to beg for food but for some reason she no longer do that,she will eat what i give and when i stop giving her food she will go back doing her own business.

Can i give carrot to my turtle everyday?She only likes carrot

You can feed your turtle carrots but are you also feeding it pellets and if so what brand and how much/often?

[astera12345]

I feed her omega one turtle food daily.usually around 3-5 pellets a day with carrots

[Kansasslider]

Can you post a picture of her?

[astera12345]

Unfortunately i can't.She won't sit still.But i can assure you that she have no shell rot,white spots etc.

Any other symptoms? How long have you had her? It's possible she understands the relationship

[Kansasslider]

I just wanted to see what she looked like. I think your doing fine in the feeding department.

[astera12345]

@steve This is the 8th month since i had her.There's no other symptoms or anything.

@kansasslider i'll try to take a picture of her.

[Kansasslider]

Ok just want to see if she is doing OK growth wise. Actually Steve is better at such things

[steve]

3-5 pellets might be too little but also try different things with her.

[astera12345]

Now that i looked at this picture...I think she is around 4 inch... >_<

[astera12345]

I did try to give her green leaf lettuce but she didn't eat them.Instead she just tear them into little pieces and create a huge mess in her tank.

[steve]

Is it possible someone else is sneaking food to her?

[astera12345]

Hmm now that you said about it,I think my brother feed her without telling me..

[steve]

Ruh-roh. Get a new pill box and sort out her food in advance.
