Question

obese
i attached pictures of my turtle, is she obese? she's 7 1/2" long.. we feed her with different kinds of fish.. how often should we feed her with her body type? thank you God bless

Answer
Hi Cristy Ann,

Can you get a picture of him or her swimming? where the arms are being used?
Id say to increase the greens and regular foods that she eats and maybe give the fish every once in a while.
what type enclosure is she in?
is she able to get enough exercise?
does she get to go outside?
what other foods are you offering?
