i have a 4 month old res. i have given it only pellets from the pet store. do i have to feed it live fish or bugs? and if so, what kind? i have tried romaine, apple, carrot, celery, and some other things, but no live bait.

also i was thinking of buying him a friend, but am unsure what water species i want. are there turtles that i should not expose my turtle to?

bump.

I do not recommend another turtle. There is a chance they will fight. I don't know much about fish, you will have to look through the threads

dried or frozen gamouris, blood worn, crickets, meal worms, grass hoppers, snails, spiders, fresh fish, fresh salad leaves..fruits..

theres all sorts you can feed your turtle to give it a healthy diet.
