Salad, carrot, apple, occasional raw fish... or those crackers from pet store. But vegetables should be a priority! Well I fed mine once a week. But the new owners do it every day.

For most things in life, I'm into the minimalistic style - but I'm pretty sure that that does not go for turtles. They are probably happiest if they get some rainforest-style habitat...

A stone above the water would do fine. All turtles, including your, will need something to climbe on above the surface otherwise it can drown. A stone above the water would do fine.

Jeff and I think he's eating his food, but we don't see him eat it. How often do you feed these guys when they're this young? Thanks everyone!

Her name is Bibi she's 10years old now and as big as a serving platter! She likes chicken best and is the friendliest thing.. she follows your face around the tank and just generally rules.

I used to have one of those, but he (she?) was much bigger, almost the size of A4 sheet. Actually I have no idea how old he was. A very clever creature ;-) That’s so cool!

Well, actually just 2 now. The first 3 passed away years ago. The two left, Fro Fro 4 and Fro Fro 5 are just over 5 years old and they are BIG! The size of my hand. One thing I learned is to ALWAYS wash your hands with antibacterial soap after touching them. They carry nasty bacteria. I had this insane skin infection that took 2 weeks to clear up. Congrats on ur turts! Mine likes pellets and dried shrimp. I have 5 of the same turtles! Well, actually just 2 now. The first 3 passed away years ago.
