I have a male musk turtle and I'm just curious what the selection for him should be. What else should i feed him? Thanks

I wrote an article in May detailing a lot of the commercial food choices: http://theturtleroom.com/2012/04/27/commercial-foods-benefitsuses-staplessupplements/

As far as live foods, I wouldn't use mealworms. Terrible choice; not very nutritious, hard to digest. Good live feeders for musk turtles include: ghost shrimp, small snails (don't go for trap-door style snails, especially for small turtles), and guppies or mollies. Musk turtles are pretty good fishers.

Mine won't eat anything but the pellets. I have a tank full of Molly's swimming around with them and they don't even think twice about them. Not even the baby Molly's.
