What do you feed red eared sliders?

Answer 1

You can feed your baby slider one of the foods designed specifically for aquatic turtles and they will also need vitamins to help their immune system. they will need to be high in vitamin A and calcium to help prevent disease. they also enjoy eating earthworms, meal worms, aquatic snails (for slightly larger sliders) and sweet water shrimp, but the baby's mouth is not big enough to eat them whole so you will have to chop them up into little peices so that they can eat it. hope I answered your question.

P.S. If the turtle won't eat after about a week get some beef blood and mix it with the vitamins and put in a dropper and put the drops in its or on its mouth so it can get some nourishment. they will also eat fruits and veggies

Answer 2

I usually feed my turtle Lettuce, Celery, Carrots, Turtle Pellets and occasionally some shrimp. I feed my baby red eared slider turtles shrimp, little dried pieces of shrimp, and the most important of all turtle pellets but feed them the turtle pellets the most and only feed them the shrimp occasionally.

As babies they should be fed a mainly carnivorous diet, adding in more fruits and vegetables as they grow older. I recommend river shrimp and small live fish as far as the carnivorous diet goes, and mainly things with a high vitamin A content as far as fruits and vegetables go. No spinach and no collard greens, as they can cause digestive problems. Turtle pellets are also wise to add in as they have some nutritional aspects that you don't generally find elsewhere.

Answer 3

It is bad to feed it just one thing. Feed your turtle a variety of things. Here are some suggestions: crickets, earthworms,snails, and mosquito fish.
