well i am against taking wild turtles out of the wild but this one is thin and wont make it if he would hibernate. i have been keeping turtles for years. (RES, Painted, and Mud) i now only have RES but i set up a different tank for the painted. i have been giving him live foods such as worms and crickets but he didn't eat any. i also offered him pellets and greens. i just started to heat the water. i didn't want to make a drastic change in water temp. from 58-68. and yes, my RES are outside all summer in my turtle pond but this one showed up in my goldfish pond. He didn't even touch the goldfish because the water was to cold. gute nacht.
danke,
_nate
