I have two RES, same age and size:
Turtle Age (Aprox) ~ hatchlings (I assume)
Turtle Size (SCL) ~ 1 in. each
Turtle habitat - indoor (20g tank)
Tomorrow I will have had them for a week, so we don't really have a schedule yet. Here's basically what I've been giving them (in the proper format, of course
). The pellets are Reptomin Baby, broken in half and put in the water to soften up a few minutes before the turtles are transferred to the feeding area.
Sun: 5-6 pellets
Mon: 5-6 pellets, romaine lettuce
Tues: 5-6 pellets, romaine, cooked turkey
Wed: 5-6 pellets, romaine, tuna
Thurs: 5-6 pellets, romaine, turkey
Fri: 5-6 pellets, romaine, tuna
Sat: 5-6 pellets, carrots & zucchini
Treats (and frequency): So far the only "treat" I've tried to give them is a couple of blueberries today. One took a little bit of a berry and the other completely ignored them.
I feed them in a separate container since my filter is pretty puny (a donated Whisper 10, but I'm hoping to upgrade soon). They only eat a very little bit of pretty much anything I give them, although one seems to be getting fonder of the pellets and both eat the tuna/turkey fairly readily. So far the only veggie I've gotten a marginal nibble on was a carrot piece, but I think it was too big for the turtle to get a handle on (will be cutting/shredding them thinner next time). I know it's only been a very little while, but if they don't start eating more soon, I'm going to get worried! XD
