Does anyone have a pet turtle? We found a teeny one in the yard. He is a red eared slider. We found him in May when he was about the size of a half dollar. I have him in a goldfish bowl. He won't eat turtle food, but takes flies from my hand and eats earthworms like spaghetti. Also give him tiny snails from my water garden. He will eat lettuce, and I think he ate a piece of a grape.
I'm wondering how often he needs to eat. Are they opportunist eaters? Can they go a few days without eating?
I'm thinking of ordering meal worms for this winter when I don't have flies, snails and worms.
Why won't he eat the turtle food?
He is so cute and feisty!
