i caught 2 red ear sliders in california about 2 weeks ago and have offered many things such as tomatos, dandylions, mustardflowers, oranges, aquatic plants, turtle pellets, etc. but i havent actually SEEN them eat anything. they are full grown. The pellets seem to dissapear, either that they are disinigratingg since there was a big particle cloud a day later, and when i put tomatoes in their pin, the dish was flipped so i ddint really get to see. is there any way to tell if they are eating or not? its been 2 weeks and they seem juss as fast/strong and curious as when i first cought them. im looking for signs like skinny neck? discolor? what? what time do they usually eat, and i heard somewhere turtles cannot eat out of water, because they have a "fixed" tonge or something like that. please reply!
o btw i heard they eat snails, i dunno if they ment land or aquatic, i think both because they said slugs too. how big should the snail be compared to the turtles head?
