The Reptomin Baby is the staple and he can get a head-sized amount daily until he's about a year old (some people start feeding pellets every other day a few months earlier).

I leave a few head-sized pieces of cuttlebone (Turtle Bone) floating in the tank so they can be nibbled on when desired.

If you're feeding Reptomin Baby and other foods for balance, you're turtle shouldn't need a vitamin supplement.

Crickets should be an occasional treat. What form are you giving---live, freeze dried or canned?

Some veggies can be offered daily, whether or not you're giving another food (pellets, crickets, etc.). concentrate of leafy greens like dandelions, red leaf lettuce, etc.
