Well, softshell turtles can eat small fish or insects in the water, but babies can't always eat those. You could try getting some food from a pet store if you have one as a pet, but you could also chop up small things on the water too that they possibly eat.

Serious answers only please Do Softshell turtles NEED filters?

Yes. Yes. Yes. If the turtle is in a tank. Any tank, any size, you need a filter. Turtles are dirty and the only time you don't need a filter is if the turtle is in a LARGE pond and even then if there is more than one turtle I'd probably still have a filter.


Can adult frogs eat baby turtles?

Yes, turtles are very cannibalistic. Adult turtles will chase down and eat baby turtles sharing their tank because of their small size. To a adult turtle a tiny turtle is just so tempting to chase, then when they get up to it they just have to bite it! When they realize that they could eat it then they will. An adult turtle may also bite and eat a baby turtles legs while they are basking.Although "fellow" turtles are not part of their regular diet, turtles can fight and be aggressive with each other, snapping and biting at heads and limbs. There have been accounts of limbs and eyes being lost. Obviously, they can't eat through the shell. But they are omnivores and meat is meat.
