Question
I have a baby musk turtle I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to feed him meal worms pellets and flakes. He likes them all i just dont know how to feed him THANKES

Answer
Baby turtles usually do not eat until they egg yolk scar heals- which should be happening soon. As far as food, drop the meal worms (bad food for most reptiles- hard shells are hard to digest).
