spiny soft shell food

Question
I have a spiny soft shell that is about 1 1/2 inches long and I was wondering
what a turtle would eat that is that small?  I was also wondering what kind
and how big of a habitat  i should have for him.  If there is anything else that
is necessary for raising a spiny soft shell i would like to know.   


Thanks

Justin

Answer
Hello Justin, They can eat pellets and or worms and small fish when younger but as they get older they can eat snails and fish and crickets and even pinkie or fuzzie mice.

Just be sure the food items are smaller then his head.

Here is a link that should cover everything else:
