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.
