Should i hand feed my turtle?
And what are the pros and cons of handfeeding over just dropping the food in the tank.

You can but it's pretty tricky when they're bigger and fairly strong. It also depends on the food... how big are they now?

Yea, he can hurt you lol. Maybe some carrot sticks... their aim is not great out of the water, you have to anticipate how they move/eat.
