There are different opinions: * You are only supposed to feed small turtles every other day, and only give them a little food, until they get older (but when they get older, still only feed them every other day). when you see the food dissapearing faster, feed them a little bit more. * You feed them once a day. You are supposed to feed them about two little sticks (the turtle food) per day. * Feed them at least five times a week.

It depends on what kind of turtle it is. My son had a Box turtle (land turtle) and it had a canned turtle food that we used to scoop out onto a lettuce leaf. The directions were on the can of food. We also gave him lettuce and peeled apple slices. We would put fresh servings of that in there every couple of days. We also looked at red-eared turtles(water turtle) and they eat gold fish and crickets. I think the clerk said they needed to be fed 2 or 3 times a week with that live food.

At least once a day, with a proper amount of water. Just make sure you feed them the right food and amount. During the summer, I feed them twice a day.

Only as much as the turtle can eat in a few minutes and usually depending on the type of food Pellets- 4 times a day, wet food- 2 times a day.

I just got a new tortoise and it is 8 months old. She seems to be sleeping a lot and I don't think its normal. How long or often should a tortoise sleep?

It depends... you should have a heat lamp. if so, it should be on from 12 am to around 4-5 pm. this will stimulate your tortoise and get it to bask, it is also common for them to sleep while they bask. What species of tortoise is it? a tortoise should sleep about 13 hours a night to poperly have a good sleep, but also they take long extended naps during the day. What are you feeding it, and how often? I hope this helps you... Cheers!
