| turtles do not grow based on the size of the tank. they will keep getting bigger even if you keep them in a 10gal tank! if your turtle isnt growing there may be something wrong with it, or it may not be getting the right nutrition or the correct amont of uvb lighting and heat |

| what kind of pellets? the pellets should be fine...there are several different kinds of pellets you could buy so you could give a variety. what kind of turtle do you have? you could try feeding some shredded carrot and some romaine lettuce. your turtle can also be feed guppies. i give my turtles live mealworms as an occasional treat |

I have two RES. I just give them Wardley Reptile Pellets. Occasionally I give them live feeder fish to eat
