Hi, We just got our turtle yesterday. not sure how old but he does fit in the palm on my 4 yr old son.
Just wanted to know how much to feed him and how often to soak him.
Also we are using coco coir as the substrate, it is messy but he seems to do well on it. Is it safe if he eats a little bit of it? he always takes his food off the dish to eat it.
He does not like to do into the water so i find soaking him helps alot as he gets active and also eats after...
Another thing i have read, i have him in an aquarium tank so its clear glass... i read that i should cover the sides near bottom so he can not see out.. is this best to do so ??
Any help and info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
P.s dont know if its a he/she... just that its a RT
