  1. No,the turtles will make a quick snack out of the crab!!


  2. with a name like turtle man you should know they eat anything that moves and the crab is a big NOPE!.

    If you don't have at least a pond or 100 gallon tank for these 4 guys  will become canabalistic and fight for space and food.

    Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA/UVB 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!

    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 eat crickets,meal worms and garden worms and smallfrogs as a treat not as a main staple. Their main staple like in the wild is fish and leafy greens.

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

    And a big tank 100 gallons or more for 4.




  3. no it wouldnt be a smart thing to do

  4. the turtles will probably eat the crab.
