Question
Hello!

I have two res turtles a few months old. I was wondering if it is okay to feed them worms. I think there are earth worms. And if it is okay how to give it to them. The worms should be alive? Should i cut them to pieces? Should i wash them first? And last what diet to you suggest for res turtles a few months old?

Thank you in advance!

Answer
I would definitely not feed anything wild caught and yes wash them first.  Other than that there are many foods available from the local pet stores to feed which are good.  The best person to speak to would be Marc at www.lilresq.net  You can also find an interview he did with us at www.reptilelivingroom.com
