well when i got mine we feed them once a day and in about a month we had to move them to a bigger tank and they grew really fast. so feed them about five peices and see how much e will eat. when u feed your res snap the peices of turtle food in half so e can eat it easier. at about age two u can tell. did u know that a turtles head is bigger than the size of its stomach. write back soon!

i doubt your turtle will stay. your turtle problie longs to be free so itll do anything for freedom even if it means leaving a good home.
