Finger Food

I've recently began feeding Rush by hand, so the food doesn't sink to the bottem of the tank. Well, now the little booger is biting my fingers whenever I go to clean the tank. He's not doing it out of aggression, I guess my fingers look a lot like carrots. Anyone know how to help me with this? Thanks!

Try a plastic spoon or a wooden popsicle stick. Also try to see if he will eat in a separate container because that will help keep your water cleaner.

Take him out before you clean the tank & let him walk around in your room (close the door & make sure there are no sharp objects on the floor). Turtles love to go explorin'......
