I just bought 2 baby yellow- bellies, and they are so small that I don't know what to feed them.

  1. I feed my turtles a mixture.....frozen blood worm cubes, frozen turtle mix cubes, vitamin pellets, king all in 1 dried shrimps.  I intend getting some live mealworms when they are larger. They should enjoy fish based meals like cockles and muscles in time too.  


  2. little baby guppies or minows..and chopped greens..and you may have to cut the guppies up, gross but they are really to imature to catch and learn in time ..and also the little little babies can drown in to much water..so make sure the water just covers thier shell...and a basking area.

  3. One of the reasons it is against federal regulations for people to sell baby turtles commercially is because it can be hard to feed babies.

    Try small-size pellets (Reptomin makes a baby-size) and live or frozen/thawed 'fish foods' like krill, shrimp, blood worms, small crickets, etc.
