Can you feed your turtle sea monkeys?
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2009 12:21 pmSince sea monkeys are brine shrimp I was wondering if it was safe to feed them to red eared sliders.

I've always thought that RES metabolise protein better than other nutrients they need, but just in case I'd make sure these are gutloaded and bought from a pet store.

It's their favorite food IMO.Never ate or seen a "sea monkey" in my life,but regular shrimp would be a better choice.

There usually located in temporary pools in spring. So the the turtles have to wonder around to find them. I think turtles know the location and the time well around here cause right when the fairy shrimp appear the turtles are always there too.
