    What kind of worms can I feed my turtle?

    Blood
    Wax (probably too high in fat?)
    Super
    Butter
    Night Crawlers
    Silk

    Thanks!

    All but blood worms. They are more for fish. Other then that, your turtle looks like its going to have a feast!

    You *could* feed them everything there but Some have more nutritional value than others.

    Night crawlers are the best--highest on the nutritional list. I would definitely stray from the meal worms/wax worms--much too fatty.

    ok...bought some nightcrawlers, but they look huge! (and gross!) Should I cut them up before feeding? They are much bigger than the turtle's head....at least long ways!

    You dont need to. the turtles might just bite off pieces at a time.

    Nightcrawlers are very messy, it's probably best you feed it in a separate tub. This will make it easier to tell how large of pieces it can handle too.
