I have a baby diamondback terrapin. Right now she is eating a variety of pelleted and flake food and once or twice a week a dried shrimp or mealworm.
I have been wondering about starting to feed her live food once in awhile, probably feeder guppies and ghost shrimp.... but will this make her more likely to bite if she starts thinking of moving things in her tank as food? I thought maybe the stimulation of watching and chasing them down would be good for her.
Right now she is very friendly, I put her in a separate container to eat so she is used to being handled so if she ever has any health issues that need attention it is less stressful for both of us.
Thoughts?
