Sometimes I like to feed my Baby RES tiny pieces of pork sometimes(not a lot) but I always give it Reptomin.

Is pork bad for it? And are there other meats that I can feed it besides fish?


thanks for your help~

Most people opt to offer very small amounts of boiled chicken meat or tuna fish. There are also canned crickets and live earthworms to consider... there's a whole section on the main site dedicated to this topic.

I don't see a problem as long as it isn't an excessive amount and it's cooked. Just make sure it doesn't get hooked on it

I'd opt for boiled white chicken meat over pork, and on the day I gave that, I wouldn't give the Reptomin.

Why do you think you should be feeding your baby meat? There are a number of other foods that would be better for him.

like what?

Have you read any of the information on what's good to feed your turtle? There's a list and a section dedicated to what foods to give on the site, please take a look at them.

Hatchlings are often attracted to foods that move and foods that have a strong scent. You might try pieces of earthworm, crickets, foods that would be more natural for a turtle to eat. Offering leafy greens early (dandelions, red leaf lettuce, baby collards, for example) for them to nibble on is a good thing to do. Read the info to get some ideas on other things you can give.
