Can this be used for a baby painted turtle?

If you are referring a hatchling as “baby” turtle then these pellets are too large. You need the hatchling product from this line. I feed all my turtles ( RES, Cumberland, yellow belly, etc) from this product line. Then mixed it with shrimp or other food sources.
