has anybody on here had any luck getting their AST's to eat pinkies or live mice? i want to try to get a higher protien and calcium diet into mine and i havent had any luck so far. any help would be greatly appreciated. i have three AST's that were given to me by a friend who can no longer take care of them and one of them is a pig tailed AST that is saddling really bad. i am hoping to stop or even reverse the saddling but either way i know it would probably be beneficial to the turtles if they started consuming larger amounts of calcium and protien. they are about two years old now and i have had them eating feeder fish, aquatic turtle pellets and mealworms with the occational crickets. they are all three about four inches scl. i tried to post pictures of them but the pictures are too big to upload. i cant figure out how to reformat them to a smaller size. again, thanks in advance
