Answer 5

Probably not, it is not part of their natural diet and it may have difficulty digesting cereal based food sources.  Depending on the breed/type of turtle, there are specific diets that should be adhered to in order to keep your turtle healthy.  Most often these include commercially made foods/bugs/feeder fish/fresh fruits and veggies.

Answer 6

no..You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily drop 20 or so in the tanks and watch them disappear! This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also!

They need leafy greens( Romaine, Butter lettuce. Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.

Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA for 8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow. So that means getting a turtle dock also.

Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

You need a good filter system! Gravel larger than they can swallow.

You probably already know that they get sick easily, shell rot, respiratory sickness, lopsided swimming, coughing,blowing bubbles from his mose, swollen eyes..so many illnesses.
