Feeding very small turtles sometimes presents a challenge to people. The more finiky ones often refuse floating food sticks ! I have found that blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus) usually solve the problem! This little fellow wouldn't eat ANYTHING!!!
Blackworms also seem to work super well for tiny salamanders!
For the nature geeks out there, this is a very young Eastern Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) that could sit happily on my thumbnail!
