Hi,
I am a new RES owner. We have our turtle in a 100 gallon indoor pond by herself. She is about 5 inches long. She is very active, climbing in and out of the water and swimming ALL day long. I think she only settles down at night when the timers shut the lights off. I have a web cam and watch her periodically throughout the day while I'm at work.
I have a question about how much to feed her. Currently, I am feeding her a teaspoon of Aquatic Turtle Entree and a teaspoon of Mazuri pellets in the morning and 2 cubes of Aquatic Turtle Adult Frozen cubes in the evening. I also offer her fruit once a week and fresh romaine lettuce and cuddle bones, occasionally fresh cooked shrimp. Everything I put in her bowl is consumed within 10 minutes! She always seems so hungry. I keep reading not to overfeed these turtles, so want to be sure I am feeding her the right quantity.
We are also considering adopting a second turtle from a friend. I understand I need to quaranteen the new turtle for a few months. Is there any special water additives for this quaranteen tank?
