Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I love that there's a place to go to find out things but I still have a one question that I was hoping to get an answer to. Or at least your honest opinion since you all are turtle lovers.
My daughter was given a turtle for her birthday in February and since she's like most kids, I'm taking care the the lil' thing. I don't know how old she is, she's about 4 inches wide.
For the first month and a half we had her all we gave her to eat was boiled chicken and brine shrimp. She wouldn't eat the pellets we had for her. After trying a few different kinds, we found one she liked and we stopped with the chicken.
I'm feeding her pellets every other day and a lettuce on the other days. She doesn't always eat her lettuce and I'm giving her a teaspoon of pellets so I don't think I'm overfeeding. But she's been throwing up and normally the day after she eats her lettuce. Do you think it could be the lettuce?
I really feel bad for her when this happens. It never happened when we gave her the chicken. Should I switch back?
I would love any advice you can give. Susana
