Posted by: honuman at Tue Oct 21 17:01:32 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by honuman ] Cut the feeding to 10 pellets once a day rather than twice. That is more than enough for a small turtle. Once she gets a bit larger she should be fed every other day. Try chicory and escarole as greens too. I am prettys sure the mustartd greens and turnip greens are high in oxalates which block the absorption of calcium. Also 80 is ok for water temp but you can drop it down 5 degrees or so. The combination of warm water and heavy feeding is causing you turtle to grow just a little bit too fast. Generally a good growth rate is an inch a year (however -- I have seen many grow a bit faster than this and still suffer no ill effects). Your little turtle is growing way way too fast though. You don't want health problems down the line. [ Hide Replies ]
