For Michelangelo (he's a hatchling) He's got zoo med hatchling pellets, cuttlebone (must be cut into small pieces and the hard back taken off), dried shrimp (for treats only), he also has three snails in his tank (he hasn't ate those yet), at least 6 ghost shrimp (he may of eaten those I don't know I can't find them!!), and four guppies (all still there)
Hatchlings kinda like meat over veggies but he has some anacharis in there for the veggie end to eat. Really my rule of them with Michelangelo, don't get anything bigger then he is (like an apple snail..way bigger!! These snails are smaller)
Don't put any rocks in the tank that are smaller then his head if you want rocks, get the big river rocks so he doesn't eat them.
But really food wise I just go with the rule of keep it small. You'll have to find out what your turtle likes and doesn't like, so far all Michelangelo likes is his pellets, he won't eat veggies or meat (maybe the shrimp but who knows till I clean the tank and find out)
She is mine and I shall call her Michelangelo!
