Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

Charlie is 1.75" inches in length, how old or what size should the RES be when you start feeder fish?
Right now we are feeding 2 different kinds of pellets, green leaf lettuce, cuttlebone, & just started to introduce safe fruits & veggies (not everyday ofcourse)

Any and all advice welcome!!!!

Thanx!

I could be wrong so dont hold me to it but I dont think age realy matters... what matters that I do know is true is moderation. So like you dont wana feed fish every day. I think someone once said once to twice a month is fine for feeders but even then it's all about the size of the feeders. I do know that Rosie Reds make good feeders as someone suggested... my Niko loves them... I actually got five I gotta take out of the bag right now.
