Feeding My Common Snapping Turtle 

Thanks for sharing, I take note of this. 😊

I hear the same thing too. I see people buying 4-5 snappers. They have a nice big habitat, but I'm not sure when they will separate them. Rufus has been on a raw meat diet for 6 months. Rufus has calmed down his snapping movement. I feed him on a ram, but before I used long tweezers. Rufus would bite the metal tip. Now he surgically remove's the meat from the tweezer. But I have him feeding off a ramp, because he is finicky sometimes. I give him chicken, then he won't eat unless I give him pork. Or he will want beef instead of shrimp. We have a lot of those large beetles roaming around now. I drop them in the tank, and he is back to his aggressive snap. I hope we can still rub noses when we bond. He likes pressing his extended head against my nose when I talk to him.

That's what I've seen too. If they get big enough they might bite anything they can get their mouths on. That's why I was surprised when I saw the video but then I thought well they are still babies.
