Questionhi, Mark!
I have 3 red eared sliders.one of them is 5 years old and the other two are 3. how often should I give them:
-chicken meat
-fish
-shrimps
-chichen's liver
-minerals
-eggs
every time when I give them one of these things I boil it!
My turtles often eat pellets and lettuces.
AnswerA typical adult Red-ear Slider diet should be:
1/2 turtle pellets, of a good brand
1/2 live or frozen/thawed 'fish food' like small fish, worms, shrimp, krill, insects, beef heart, etc. Some small amounts of chicken, liver, or eggs are OK once in a while.
Add some dark, leafy greens as well- mostly water plants, but other greens are OK.
