Posted by: tortuga507 at Wed Oct 17 16:10:13 2007 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by tortuga507 ] I am currently taking care of 5 common snapping turtle hatchlings. They hatched about 3 - 4 weeks ago. I have 2 in one 10 gallon tank, and 3 in another 10 gallon tank. Each tank has a large piece of drift wood, and a uva/uvb light spanning both tanks. There is also a uva heat lamp positioned over both tanks, but it's not very hot. I have the water at about 1 inch deep in both tanks, and do 100% water changes 3 times a week. I feed the turtles almost every evening in containers seperate from their tanks. They get pellets, silversides, krill, or sometimes live caught insects from a local pond. Here's my problem, I never see them eat. Sometimes I can count pellets, and know that they've eaten, but most of the time I don't think they eat. I usually give them a couple of hours, so I don't think I'm rushing them. They also don't look like they are growing. Thanks for any insights.
