Feeding and Nutrition :: Hatchling Question

Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

Post Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 12:42 am   Hatchling Question

I keep the red minnos for my snapping turtle in the tank with my hatchlings. A few minutes ago I had seen one of my hatchlings decided it didn't want to wait for the normal every day hatchling pellet food and was swimming with a minno in its mouth. And it caused the other two to go into somewhat of a frenzy.

These turtles are young and it may be normal I just wanted to be sure its okay or if I need it strictly to eat hatchling pellets.

you shouldnt feed them strictly pellets at all. turtles need a variety including vegetables. and yes they will eat fish or almost anything else you put in the tank

I do realize that they will eat anything. I was simply worried for there age ( barely 2 months old ) if it was okay.
