When i enter the room, my mississippi map turtle starts clawing intensely by where i am. When i pick up her food can, she swims right up to the surface so i can hand feed her. I guess what I'm wondering is, are turtles the type of pet that will keep on eating even if they're not hungry, to the point of getting sick? Like, if I put food in there even if shes not hungry, will she eat it anyway? If she ISNT begging for food, than what DOES she want? Shes following me in her tank, clawing at the sides. When i peak my head in my room, i don't see her doing this. She only does in while I'm there. I don't think she wants me to take her out, because when I take her out, she freaks out. Lol. Thank you!
