Feed adult turtle with baby turtle pellet

Hi all,
I read somewhere that we may not feed pellet for baby turtles to adult turtles. Is it true? I wonder why.. and what's the difference betwehe pen those two?

Another questions, is the color of the pellet will affect turtle's skin and/or shell colors?

Thanks,
Hesty

I don't think the color will have any effect.

Baby pellets tend to have higher protein levels. So, feeding the same amount of pellets, you may be over feeding when using baby pellets. I did finish off the baby pellets when my turtle grew out of them, though. I mixed them with adult pellets and tried to cut back a bit on the feeding guidelines.
