Should i feed my turtles in a different tank? »

What are some better foods for my baby musk turtles besides pellets?

leeshi53 asked:

I have two musk turtles, a razor back, and a stink pot musk. They are so cute. I have had them for about 8 months now. They are just a little bigger than the size of a quarter. What else can I feed them besides the hatchling pellets, and freeze dried blood worms?? I want to keep them as healthy as possible.

Pellets actually are a great source of stable food if your turtles actually eat them. They are very well balanced and don’t really need to be rotated with anything else unless you want to give them a little treat. If your turtles eat the pellets, definitely stick with them.

Feed them live meal worms. They should love them. Also try feeder guppies.

I prefer live food when possible: earthworms, small fishes, soft-bodied insects. Strips of liver dusted with bone meal are good too.
