Well, my yellow bellied slider has not left the pond after 3 weeks so I will continue to feed him since my pond is small and I am not sure he would get enough nourishment otherwise. My question for anyone that has aquatic turtles in their pond is what do you feed yours and how often? I have been feeding parsley, ReptoMin, Mazuri aquatic turtle diet pellets, and Flukers medley treats (freeze dried mealworms, river shrimp, crickets) Any other suggestions? I don't want to overfeed but he seems to dive right in when I put these foods in his feeding circle (about 18" diameter round floating 3/4" tube to keep the food from drifting away) Should he be fed twice a day and if so, about how much ?(his shell is about 5" long)
