My common snapper was the size of a silver dollar in early sept-2007, he is now at a 5" shell length(4-08), I feed him every day. He now eats around 6, 2" minnows a day, easy! (fresh frozen,they are bought as fishing bait live,then I freeze em) he also eats Fresh caught and frozen catfish, Live night crawlers (I cut them up into 3 pieces) Occasionally I'll throw in some Beef liver chunks,Chicken, Pheasant, large freezedried Krill. When he was smaller I would just make sure what ever I gave him was small enough to not Gag Him and I gave him about the same amount of food a day as two-times the size of his head. that seemed to work real well...But that guy can 'Mack-Down' some food now!!~ He gets reptomin and other pellet type turtle food also.. I need a bigger tank now!!
