Tetra Pond
Alternative Food Fresh Water Turtles?
I have a fresh water turtle, I feed him Tetra Pond Floating Sticks which he adores but what else can I feed him that won’t make to much of a mess when he eats it or if he leaves it on the water, also I sometimes give him on or two cheerios mostly the new multi-grain one that’s lightly sweetened is this ok? IDK maybe turtles aren’t allowed to have sugar?
Well cheeks, you already won to me. Great answer, so sugar isn’t the best. Well do you think I could give them normal unsweetened cheerios?
aquatic turtles need fish and fruits and veggies!
NO cherrios.
They are meat eaters ans well as they love and need veggies.

They NEED calcium and protein they get it from the fish meat and the fish bones. Drop 20 or 30 or so feeder guppies or small goldfish (or minnows they maybe a bit fast for babies) at first just drop in the tank and watch them disappear in a few days! The more they eat the healthier the turtle.
**** If these are hatchlings a 1 1/2” they may need to have their live food half dead by leaving the fish out of water for a few minutes (10minutes) and put in the tank. That way the baby can get the meat he needs and the fish can’t out run the baby turtle.
Plus some leafy green and vitamin A fruits cut up a few times a week. Swollen cloudy eyes comes from lack of Vitamin A. Which we all need for good eyes.
Plus I also feed dried cubed blood worms or tubiflex worms or pellets at least 5 times a week for my five..
They can have garden worms which I collect after a good rain and dump them un the pond, also meal worms. As they get older they can have snails, crickets, flies, crayfish, small frogs, slugs, tadpoles ,dragon flies and anything that moves, but only as a treat.
They need leafy greens Romaine, Butter lettuce. (Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them) any other leafy greens will do for vitamin A that they need at least 4 to 5 times a week.
They love grapes and strawberries and squash , apples, remember cut up in small pieces..
.
These turtles in captivity do not hibernate their eating may slow down some but they will not hibernate. They cannot hear or see well so they feel you coming by the vibrations each foot step take.
TOSS in a bird cuttle bone in the water for calcium that will promote better shell growth, it will dissolve real slow and if they eat it that’s fine!!
Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA/UVB for up to 8 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow.
