Feeding and Nutrition :: Guppies

[turboturtle8]

Do turtles have to be a certain age before they can eat guppies or rosey red minnows?

[adam85491]

No, but younger turtles usually are more likely to eat them as older turtles are usually more vegetarian, though, no fish is safe in a turtle tank.

Yeah I think my 3 year old turtles will like them.Plus its great excersise for them to chase the fish.lol

[turboturtle8]

I think probably she will eat them

The more hiding spots, the better chance of survival the fish have. However, my turtles haven't let a fish go more than a day, whether it be sneaking up on it or going on a high speed chase.
