hi,

just a few questions, i have a baby turtle named ernie (his shell is about an inch long) ive been told hes a common musk turtle, im just wondering, what should i feed him, at the moment im feeding him some turtle food i got from the pet shop (frozen fish guts i think!) and he seems pretty happy with that, also can i put anything else in with him, thinking of a yellow bellied slider? or maybe fish?

thanks

thats brilliant! thanks i just need to find out if i can put a yellow bellied slider in with my little guy now, dont want to risk either of them getting hurt!
so if anyone has any experience please please say, whatever it may be!

hay all my turtles have a veried diet, that is manily mill worms and low protien fish pellets, also prawns (are there favourte, feed them prawns once a week) and bloodworm are a good messy treat. also my fellas like cooked chicken (like clean leftovers) and beef liver is good for them.
also my big turts like the crickets that are to big for my lizards lol.
remember how small musk turtles are compared to a full grown YBS! there a big diffrence! but they should be okay if you get some his size!
