Feeding and Nutrition :: Automatic Feeders?

[brady2180]

hello there. i just got a turtle. His name is Brady and he is awsome! two days of the week i am away from home nearly 10 hours. this concerns me in regards to his proper feeding. i was wondering if anyone knew of an good automatic feeder i can get so Brady is not left starving when i get home. any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

You can feed him before you leave. But if you have your heart set on a feeder, you just need to make sure that the one you get is big enough to dispense pellets. Most are set up to dispense fish flakes. There are some people that have looked into this idea, so I'm sure they'll be along to offer specific advice. Good luck!

Ah, a super-protective owner

Feeding him before you leave is fine. Don't try to over-compensate for any missed feedings, just read whats listed as guidelines in the feeding section.
