just make sure you dont get the flavored kind, is what i heard. The guy also told me not to put it right in the water b/c it will dissolve fast and mess up the water, but i never understood how they would eat it if it wasn't wet...
Try to be like the turtle -- at ease in your own shell.

you just put it into the water.. when it eventually sinks you can put it back on land to dry and put it back into the water again so it'll float!

Your turt will eat in the water...putting it on try land won't help. Just break it up in small chunks and drop it in. Don't forget the peal the hard backing off of it, it's too hard for the turts to eat. If it sinks to the bottom and you don't want it there, take it out and let it dry completely and then put it back in. I just leave mine on the bottom though, they still eat it.
