Commercial food for baby mud turtle?

[Moozillion]

I will hopefully get my new baby mud turtle in the next 2-3 weeks. I plan to feed him mostly fresh or frozen/thawed seafood, but i'd like to have a commercial food as backup. I've heard some people like the Hikari Sinking Wafers, (or is it the Carnivore wafers?) but am unsure. Thoughts?
Thanks!

You can buy frozen blood worms too. I buy them for the water turtles that come through here.

I think your idea for the sinking wafers is a good one, because mud turtles are not good swimmers and would have a hard time taking food off the top of the water.

Mazuri all the way. Theturtleroom has a great article on their webpage breaking down all of the various commercial foods out there. They also have Mazuri #1, followed by Zoomed. I've always used both with great success.

Thanks, harris- I was not aware Mazuri made food for the aquatic turtles! Cool!

They worked non-stop all the way until the end of June and then nothing for a while. Looks like they have a job next week though.
