Feeding and Nutrition :: Pellet Question

[YonkasTone]

How's it going everyone? Currently we feed our RES once a day. We usually give pellets about 2-3 days a week and a mix of veggies/lettuce (different types) the other 4. Once every couple of months we'll feed her a guppy or 2 and once every week or 2 we'll give her cuttlebone and freeze dried shrimp (basically as treats). I need to buy more pellets for my turtle and I'm leaning towards Omega One but I'm not sure if I should get Adult or juvenile formula. Any idea how to roughly tell the age of the turtle? We got her a little more than a year ago from Petco. Her shell is about 5" long and 4" wide. Just want to make sure I don't waste the money on something that isn't best for her. Thanks!

Omega One is a good pellet. I believe the only difference between adult and juvenile is the pellet size. At 5", your turtle is an adult and the adult sized Omega One would be perfect.

perfect, thanks! thats what i thought but wanted to make sure. i know turtles have a relatively long life span so i wasn't sure when it's considered an adult
