Blueberries? Skin on?

I have two containers of blueberries, I am probably going to eat them all fairly quickly.

I have heard that turtles enjoy blueberries as a treat. If I manage to share, should I take the skin off or drop them in whole?

I would drop them whole or cut them in half if you have a smaller turtle.

Try cutting it in half so he can smell it a little bit more

I'll try in a few days. They got a lot of treats over the weekend. Extra jello shots, lettuce all day, pellets . . . . and as soon as I clean the tank, they pooped. I think they were waiting for a clean place to poop, like the cat.

Do you have a filter in there? If so it should pick up the poop

Yes I do have a filter, just added it. I posted pics and some video in the photo section. There's a still area behind the rock on the far right that the debris collects behind. I might move it, but Speedy likes to drag the jello shots down there to eat them because they don't float away.

Yeah on the other side of my tank sometimes stuff piles up but my turtle ends up moving it to the other side for the filter to pick it up

I cut the blueberries into quarters.

It took them a while but they eventually ate it. I don't know who, I never catch them eating the blueberries but they vanish into a puff of blueberry debris when I'm not looking.
