food question

jkpjlp Jan 21, 2005 01:42 PM

I have an ally snapping turtle and I put in some African clawed frogs ( 1" ). My turtle is acting lethargic and I am not sure if he ate the frogs. Could it be fatal if he ate the frogs? What else would make him lethargic? I checked his ph this morning and it was 6.4. I put ph up in the tank and 6 hours later it's 6.8. If I put in 15-20 feeder fish (guppies, tuffies, goldfish) will he eat when he is hungry or gorge himself? My turtle is about 3-3 1/2". His water temp is between 78 and 82 all the time.

Thank you for your time,
Joel

lol, maybe you should've counted the frogs, before you put them in. If you put in a bunch of rosies, it may or may not eat them all. My little often eats 2 every few days, even though there are always around a dozen in the aqaurium.
