Frankie the turtle

[STALLIONDUCK]

about a week back on one of my carp trips i caught a little painted turtle, hes just a little bigger than a half dollar. i think hes about 3-4 weeks old, but anyway back to the point; i have him in 30 gallon tub that has a sand island thats about 20x6.5" and the water portion of it is 20x25" and 2.5" deep. based on all of that, what are some things i can feed him and any other tips on taking care of him but the food thing is the most important thing.

anything helps, please and thank you.

I did a quick search, and I think this should be all you need.

I have one,and 2 loggerheads too.As long as they have water,and a way to get out of the water you are good...

As far as food goes,Worms,a minnow broke in half,Hotdog,Ham,Bread,ect...All will work.Them turtles ain't picky,and real easy to keep...

oh yeah! lol beavis (the bullhead) goes through like four nightcrawlers, hefty nightcrawlers, each time i feed him. he'll eat one then automatically look for more then eventually he gets full and harasses frankie lol theyre like a cat and dog, its hillarious lol

hey preston, how deep is the water you have your bullhead in? or is the any preference on the depth of the water or does it even matter? i caught this bullhead in about 4 inches of water.

I have the bullheads and the 2 loggerheads in a 55 gallon tank,with a big cedar limb they can climb on to get out of the water.2 foot deep maybe...

The streaky head(painted turtle)is in a 10 gallon tank by hisself right now.
