How much should I feed my turtle ?

himimi

Hello,

I have a 9 months red ear slider 13cm and a 6 months yellow spotted side neck turtle 9cm.

I feed them pellets once a day, the RES one and half tea spoon and yellow spotted half tea spoon. The RES finish his food in just 1 minute. I don’t want to over feed them, can someone please tell me it that’s enough?

I saw on YouTube when people picking up their turtles, they seems to be very calm. When I pick mine up, they struggle so much.....what can I do? I just want to stroke their shell

Thanks in advance

For a RES in the size of 13cm, a full tea spoon will be fine, for 9cm yellow spotted, 3/4 tea spoon  ...

Yes, it helps a lot.
I put up a walking area for them and the yellow spotted sometimes come to my palm for a little while
Again, thank you so much !!
