Hi everyone. I'm thinking about getting a softshell turtle for a pet(probaly a spiny) and I have a few questions.

1.What do you feed them as a hatchling and when their an adult? Could you feed them the minnows that you can buy as fishing bait?

2.I live in Minnesota so we have somebad winters. Is there any softshells that I could keep outside year round?

3. How deep should the water be in the pond? How big should the pond be?

Thanks in advance.
