Red Eared Slider Feeding Guide (What to feed and how much/often)

This video explains what do red eared slider turtles eat. I also shows how much and how often to feed a red eared slider.

What to feed a red eared slider:
Red eared sliders can eat a wide range of food, including commercial pellets, vegetables, fruit, crickets, worms, shrimp, and even small fish.

Red eared slider diet
Commercial pellets should be about 75% of your red eared slider's diet. Vegetables should be around 10-20%, and then fruit, crickets, worms, and shrimp should cover the remaining 5-10%.

Red eared slider turtle feeding
When feeding a red eared slider, make sure to put the food directly into the water, as this will help them digest their food since they don't have any teeth to break down the food.

How much to feed a red eared slider
Red eared sliders age 1-4 should be fed every day. You should give them enough food that they can eat in 3-5 minutes.

Turtles aged 4-7 should be fed every other day, and turtles over 7 should be fed every 2-3 days. You should start incorporating more veggies into your red eared sliders diet once they are around 5 years old. Once your turtle is 7 years old, vegetables should consist of about 50% of their diet.

I hope after watching this video you know how to feed a red eared slider turtle and what is best for their diet.
