i bought 2 new hatchlings for x-mas, i've only had them for about a week know. i threw about 6 baby guppies in their tank and they completely wiped them out in a matter of minutes. now im wondering if that was a good idea or not? should i wait for them to get a little bigger or is this an ok hatchling treat occasionally? thanks for the help!

Even hatchlings can enjoy rosy reds, but they should definitely be a rare treat. I give some to my turtle about once a month.
Too much protein will cause your turtles to grow too quickly which can lead to shell and health issues.
