RE: What to feed hatchling common snapping turtles?

Here is what I fed my hatchling (which was with me for 10 years before I donated her to a nature center).

- Small insects
- Chopped fish
- Cooked chicken

Eventually she was able to take Zoomeds aquatic turtle pellets. In the wild, juveniles hang out on shores of lakes and rivers, hiding within the muck and leaves. From my personal experience, they feed heavily on aquatic insects and other small invertebrates as wild juveniles. Duplicating a natural diet worked wonders for me. I have been keeping snappers since 1989. Good luck with your turtles!
