I feed my soptties Aqua max trout pellets 3 times a week, rosies once a week and night crawlers once a week. The amount of food depends on the size of the turtle and time of year. I feed my adults more in the spring and summer but not at all in nov. and half of dec. I feed my hatchlings almost every day and only reptile ten. When they are about a year old I introduce the rosies and worms. I change my water at least once a week but some twice a week. I do use tap water and never had a problem. Are the spotteds that you are getting wild caught? They are used to water that is VERY acidic and would have trouble with the change. If so and they get the white skin fungus place a few tea bags in the water. Every few weeks add one less tea bag untill you arent using any. This should help,
Tom
P.S.
HOUSE MALES BY THEMSELVES!!
They will stress the girls and cause them health problems.
