Food Coma

[AndreaRosie]

Yesterday little Beast ate a few crawfish and two fish. He had been basking all day. Someone is stuffed.

 

[Yvonne G]

Very cute.

 

[adamlikesbananas]

Wow, didnt know that RES ate fish at that size. Very cute turtle!

How'd he eat crawfish? Did you have a boil? They can't eat them raw can they?

 

[MikeCow1]

Sure, they can eat them raw. I tried to use some as scavengers once. Sliders caught and ate them in no time

 

[Newo13]

That's crazy. I guess I always thought crawfish would hurt my turtle with their pinchers.

 

[WillTort2]

You must have some huge crawfish!

 

[mctlong]

I'm impressed! Hard to imagine that little RES wrestling a crawfish!

 

[AndreaRosie]

I live in Louisiana so I am finally putting those crawfish to good use!

 

[Newo13]

I live in Louisiana too and we've had several crawfish boils already, but they've been pretty big and I never thought about letting my RES have one. Maybe if I get a small one I'll see what my crazy turtle will do!

 

[MikeCow1]

IIRC, you have to be careful of parasites with crawfish. I could be wrong
