[Sir Max]

So i can just pick an earthworm out of the garden and dinner? ;D

[SINI5T3R]

Yeah just wash it off and throw it in the tank...

[Diamondbacks4Life]

I wouldnt feed one to the turtles that was near anywhere where you applied any chemicals just to be safe.

I've read on a website that the safest way to feed live things to your turtle and avoid getting him/her sick is to keep them in a salt water solution for a few minutes, then rinse it and feed it to the turtle.

[vear]

yep, my turtle eats them like spaghetti

[Sir Max]

slurrrrp

good stuff

[marisa]

Yes, they're good as part of the diet. If your RES is really small, and the worm is big, it's good to cut the worm into smaller pieces.

[Sir Max]

How often could i feed him one?

lets say an inch of a worm every week? not as often?
