I bought stick pellets (25% more) for my adult RES. He eats other pellets, carrots and snails (sometime lettuce), but never stick pellets. What is wrong? Orion loves to eat them. :mrgreen:
Turtles:
Dexter (RES)
Shelby (RES - gone and I feel really really bad).
Miracle (Box Turtle - Given to me after Shelby left us).
Orion (Mississippi Map Turtle).

He may not recognize it as food yet. Turtles are picky and resistant to change.
