Baby painted turtles can be fed any time during the day, once a day. Allow they them to eat as much as they want for 30 minutes. Adults can be fed any time during the day, every other day. Let them eat as much as they want for 30 minutes to an hour. I recommend feeding your turtles in a separate tank because painted turtles are very messy! If you feed then in their tank then they will quickly ruin the water. That goes for any kind of turtle.


How long can a painted turtles live without eating?

Painted Turtles are semi aquatic. They are happy to swim, but they also need to come out of the water to bask under UVA/UVB light and completely dry off. Because they do not have saliva, they also need water to eat in or they won't be able to swallow their food. If you need a basking platform for your turtles to bask on, you can head over to a local pet store and find one or check out an online store for a discounted price.


How do you care for a painted turtle that almost drowned?

Well you have to have a UV Light, a Turtle Dock, a Filter, a Heater, and at the least a 10 gallon tank. You need 1 gallon per inch of turtle. I have two baby painted turtles and they eat "Baby Shrimp and Krill" and eat alot each day. You should get some plants and gravel to put in the tank too. Turtles love to swim, so in the summer you can build a little pond and let the turtle live there until late autumn. You need to leave the UV light on at least 6 hours a day.
