Question
hi well here is my question how often do i feed my pensecola cooter and what is his diet

Answer
Hi Patricia,

Here are some links on the general care of cooters.  They are mostly vegetarian, so should be fed a variety of greens with a small amount of animal protein once or twice a week.  Juveniles should be fed daily or every other day, and adults no more than every other day (about three times a week).
