Question
I recently bought 1 slider turtle i bought it some food from a local pet store called reptomin. i put some of the pellets in but it did not eat them im wondering why its not eating them and what else should i feed it ?

Answer
Baby turtles are actually tough. Besides the ReptoMin, try live blood worms. Another big issue is the basic cares. For example, the temps should be 75-80 since turtles won't eat if it is too cool.

Good sites about basic cares and stuff are http://www.austinsturtlepage.com and http://www.redearslider.com
