RES diet

[Abdulla6169]

I've seen differences in the diet you should give a red eared slider, some say up to 50% commercial foods, other say 25%, I'm not sure how much to feed, and what to feed... Any help appreciated

Any way to tell how old a turtle is? Most of them here are really small... At about what age is a tort 1 year old?

Res are about 4 inches at 3 years of age .

Anyway I'll post pics when I get one, here you can get a tort less than 4 in

My RES is real picky about her greens! She loves feeder fish, superworms, crickets... and I always give all my turtles a little commercial food in the morning.

The Red Ear Sliders here will eat essentially anything that I put in for them....however, their fav is the Mazuri Tortoise food rolleyes second behind any live worm of any kind....they also like (not love yet) greens...as they age that will likely change some....the red ears here are about 6 inches or so long and are roughly 4 years old (give or take a little)...
