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.
As 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.
For adults, as much as they want in a 30 minute time period every other day.
For babies, as much as they want in a 30 minute time period daily.
every day one time
They will thrive on a mix of fish, turtle food, and some leafy vegetables.
Well my friend has a baby yellow bellied slider and it doesn't eat it as it floats she has to pick him up and hold him next to the food and he will extend his neck to eat it!
a yellow bellied snake catches it's prey under water
You should feed them aquatic turtle food, such as Reptomin Floating Food Sticks.
feed raw chicken or meat due to the risk of bacterial contamination. Also See. How Much Should I Feed My Red Eared Slider? How Should I Give My Red Eared Slider Its Food?
There are two reasons one is to make sure it is not sick. The other reason is that it might think it is food. Make sure you have fresh food. If it still does it call a doctor it should not do that. Trust me I have a tortoise and it does not do that.
You must feed it gourmet turtle food
Bloodworm!

feed it turtle food but make sure the food is big.feed it lettuce and krill.also earthworms and fresh fish.
Feed your red-eared slider regularly. Turtles require different amounts of food depending on their size. If you are unsure how much food to feed your turtle, consult a veterinarian. Feed your red-eared slider a high-protein commercial turtle kibble, available at your local pet store. To supplement this food, give your red-eared slider chopped vegetables such as zucchini, kale, dandelions, squash, endive leaves and collard greens.
you feed them, maybe live fish, turtle and teripin pelets/food. They also like live blood worms.
