If you are feeding your turtle with the typical dry sticks you pick up at the pet store, than you would feed him two or three sticks a day while he is small (the size of a half dollar or so). Break them in half to make them smaller and drop them in the water to soften. As the turtle grows add more sticks to accommodate it. Sliders will also eat small crickets and earthworms. Just be careful not to give it anything bigger than it can handle.

∙ 12y agoAs with any semi-aquatic animal there is a feeding ritual. Once in morning, afternoon, and night. The rule is feed them what they can eat for 2 minutes every meal. I would start with small millworms from any local petstore. turtles will eat live or dead animals. Yellow bellies are not like red ears where they enjoy veggies. You have to feed them gutty foods. try waxworms or small millworms.
