It is illegal in every state of the U.S. to sell a turtle under the length of 4 inches (law processed by the FDA, U.S. Food and Drug Administration) do the the ease of Contracting sellmonellosis (selmonella) so if the turtle is 4 inches or over it should be fine.
Hope that helps!

How many turtles can you fit in a mini?
It depends on the size of the turtle. A big adult sea turtle is hundreds of times larger than the baby turtles sold at pet stores. Figure a minimum of 5 or 6 really big ones, a couple hundred big box males, or several thousand (4000-8000) of the palm-sized aquarium turtles.
Can turtles live in baby pool?
It depends what kind of turtle it is is and how big it is.
Will big turtles bully baby turtles?
Honestly, some turtles are nicer than others. That means, if a big turtle is real mean and gruff, it may bully other turtles. If it's a sweet and kind turtle, it probably won't. Same with baby turtles. I have four turtles. My oldest is kinda of rough but my second youngest won't take that kind of attitude; in fact, she'll dish it right back!

What can you feed to a red ear slider if they have just hatched recently?
It was with great pleasure and satisfaction that we had to originally hurry this tour before we had planned to cover this subject. Tour Eight helped many people care for turtle eggs and the email shifted to how to feed baby turtles, especially baby box turtles. Feeding larger turtles will be addressed in a separate tour. Turtle foods come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and ingredients. Some even walk and hop by themselves. There are flake and small pellet foods sold just for baby turtles and these are good for starting baby water turtles. Turtle sticks are the most common turtle foods on the market and are good for feeding all turtles including baby land turtles like box turtles. Larger floating pellets are sold for water turtles and are good for all turtles including babies. Dried whole shrimp and dried bugs are sold and are of questionable value; we don't use them. There are pellets sold for box turtles which smell like apples and really do smell good. However, we have yet to have any of our turtles eat them. There are shrimp pellets (gammarus) intended to be used for a treat or supplement and are not sufficient as a main diet food. The processed whole foods in flake, stick, and pellet forms all have the necessary vitamins and nutrients turtles need. Vitamins are absolutely critical to good health. When the dime store baby turtles (red-eared sliders) were common when I was a boy, dried ant eggs were the common food sold for turtles. In fact ant eggs were the only food I remember ever seeing. They ate them and most died because they never received the vitamins and nutrients they needed. That is why we do not use dried shrimp and dried bugs. Fish foods have about the same ingredients as turtle foods. There are differences to be sure. For our purposes we consider fish foods excellent substitutes. We would not recommend purchasing baby turtle flakes and small pellets if you already have fish foods available. We purchase large pellets in plastic bags sold for pond fish like Wardley's Ten. This is an economical why to feed many turtles a good main diet. Some live foods are sold like crickets and mealworms which are good. Feeder fish sold for feeding big aquarium fish are available. Turtles can become infected with parasites from feeder fish and most feeder fish are too large for baby turtles. We do not use feeder fish. We do not purchase earthworms sold for fish bait. They are probably okay but we do not trust them since they are not intended for pet consumption. We would only purchase earth worms from a pet store if we were purchasing earthworms. Most earthworms sold are much too large for baby turtles anyway. There are also canned turtle foods. We have never tried them and the quantities of one can would be far too large for baby turtles. Forget veggies and fruits for baby turtles; they don't eat them. We never feed any turtles raw meats such a ground beef or raw poultry. Both have too much fat and harbor salmonella. Raw seafood is okay for water turtles, but we do not use seafood. Cooked poultry and cooked eggs including the shells are acceptable for turtles after they begin growing. Before we go any further, we want to inform new viewers and remind other viewers to read all the tours carefully. Much of what is presented here is covered or elaborated on in other tours. Some material in other tours will be more applicable to your baby turtles once they start growing. Okay enough background info. Here is how we feed baby turtles.

Does a baby turtle need a big tank?
What kind of turtle is it? Turtles like painted turtles and slider turtles should be fine. But turtles like musk, mud, or soft shell turtles would have trouble reaching the surface to breath. Do some research on your turtle and find out what their habitat should be. Deep or shallow.
