General Care Discussion :: once a hatchling

[my.lovely.turtle.]

I was wondering when is a turtle no longer considered a hatchling?

And when do you start to feed your turtle every second day instead of everyday?

Thanks guys! Love you all!

i started feeding my turtles every other day after they got at about 1,2 pounds.

Technically, a turtle is a hatchling until a year of age. Then it's considered a yearling.

Thanks guys! I guess Niko is still a hatchling then! I have had him since June 22nd, 2010.
