Sid eats Reptomin pellets, dried crickets, and dried meal worms daily, and I sometimes give him a treat of turkey. Anyway, I bought a feeder fish to see what he would do with it... and he did nothing. He's not even trying to go after it, even when it was in a bucket with just him and some water. How common is it for turtles to eat fish? Is there a trick to getting them started?

are they big? turtles are not likely to attack anything bigger than their size..give him some time and he'll rip them apart Smile

those are so many treats, u shouldn't worry about feeding him fish

If you can get some water Hyacinth, they will tear that up. All my turtles love it adults and babies..
