Turtle Age (Aprox) 1.5 years
Turtle Size (SCL) 6 inches and 4 inches
Turtle habitat (indoor/outdoor) Both. Indoor for the winter, outside when I am home in the summer in thier stock tank.
They have some food in the tank all the time. There are generally at least 2 kinds of aquatic plant to munch on, as well as snails and Rosies. They eat the plants fairly fast, but the (big) snails and Rosies usually last for awhile.
Sunday Pellet mix-Reptomin, Mazuri, Zoo med, and cuttlebone pieces
Monday ORGANIC! Sweet potato, carrot, pumpkin, squash, peaches, mango, canteloupe or other Vit A rich plant source.
Tuesday Pellet mix
Wednesday organic spring mix-red leaf, green leaf, dandelion greens, romaine, escarole, endive.
Thursday pellet mix
Friday Left to eat the plants and animals in the tank. No added food.
Saturday 2 gutloaded crickets each, or 2 butter worms each, or an earth worm each, or a hornworm each if I am about to clean the tank.
Treats (and frequency) They get little freeze dried shrimp once a week, but only if they take it from my fingers. This usually means 1-3 each. Every other MOnday, they get fruit instead of veggies, and once a month they get fruit on Friday too. Blueberries, cherries, apple, plum, grapes, or papaya usually.
