## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a red ear slider about 2.5 inches. Will these feedings be too big for its mouth?**
A: They would still feed on them.

**Q: How much should I feed per feeding?**
A: Hi, it depends on the size of the turtle. When ours was small we gave him just a few pellets and a pinch of a similar brand as this at two separate feedings. Now he is bigger we give him about ten or a few more pellets on one feeding and then a couple of good sized pinches of this food on another feeding.  There are pellets in this food but most of it is light type food. Hope this helps, John

**Q: when is the expiration date?**
A: usually on rim of lid or bottom of container nonetheless my turtle will eat a dead goldfish so expiration really isn't a concern
