Yes, I feed this one and all my other mud turtles a lot of shrimp, krill and clams. I also feed Monster and Mazuri aquatic turtle pellets, the occasional earthworms and many other food items. Believe me, they are spoiled rotten.
This particular female is 4.5 inches now but as I mentioned, she was a fairly drab colored hatchling. The really red colored hatchling (see photo) is an older and larger female that I own. She has a mostly orange head and a pumpkin colored plastron now.
Sure hope your eggs hatch!
