Hi everyone, I recently purchased two baby red eared sliders no larger than the size of a quarter. Does anyone have any feeding tips?
They don’t seem to eat the pellets I drop in the tank. I’m not sure what to do, I also tried to pick them up and feed them but they wont eat. Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Michael

What pellets are you using ? The size of a quarter? Dang, are the pellets small enough? Under the nutrition section of the website I believe there are enticing tips for feeding.

You can soak them in tuna water.

Here are some tips: http://redearslider.com/entice_eating.html

What's your setup like? A correct setup is also very important to make them comfortable to eat and bask.
