Feed him as much as he wants, daily if juvenile or every other day if adult, for 30 minutes. Scoop out and discard the extra or half eaten food. Some snapping turtles will develop their own feeding habits, an example is my baby snapper. He gorges himself every 3 days and refuses to eat in between. I have tried feeding him every day but he only eats every 3 days. When he does eat he gorges himself. He is a funny little turtle.

∙ 15y agoYoung turtles should be fed daily. Feed them a mix of commercial food that can be purchased at a pet store, and animal proteins. Crickets, worms, or live feeder fish can be used. They also like fresh plants as well. Adults should be fed every 2-3 days. Check out the link below for more detailed info: http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/reptilesturtles/a/reslidercare.htm
