Answer:

I have a western painted turtle (aquatic pond turtle) and it loves both meal worms and wax worms but also likes earth worms, crickets, and the larva and beetles that meal worms turn into after a few weeks if he doesn't eat all the before they turn. Make sure to also give them diet supplement pellets also. Mine usually won't eat much of those though. I've heard they like baby gold fish but my turtle lived with two larger ones in his tank for years and they all got along well.

Answer:

The gentleman below seems to know much more then I do about turtles. My grandson brought turtles home from
the park, soft shells, and sliders, and some strange ones too. He fed his baby minnows and nightcrawlers and
they loved them. He released them before winter so they could hibernate in the pond. Hope this helps too.

Answer:

Depends on the species and age...Cooters are vegetarians, young sliders are omnivorous, adult sliders are primarily vegetarians...otoh, if your's eat night crawlers, wax worms are fine, while meal worms should be only a special treat, as over-feeding them could cause a blockage.

Answer:

Just wait and they will turn into frogs and leave. next spring-summer put netting over the pond and waterfall so frogs wont enter to lay eggs. pond waterfalls attract them. tadpoles don't hurt anything its best to just leave them alone and they eat algae as a bonus

Answer:

Do you have goldfish, koi or turtles in it? If so, start feeding them a bit less until they've eaten all the tadpoles. Also an effective way to combat mosquitoes!

Answer:

Try non-toxic DE,Diatomaceous Earth (HUMAN-GRADE otherwise you may get the stuff they use in swimming pools and THAT grade IS poisonous ).
DE is a powder,made up of diatoms' skeletons. Be careful not to get it into your or the pet's eyes and don't inhale it. It's not poisonous,but because it's gritty (which tears up the insects' exoskeletons and kills them).
It WILL irritate eyes and lungs if you are not careful.
First,wash and dry your rats' cage. Then sprinkle or pat on(using a paper towel) the DE throughout the cage,especially in the corners. You can't overdo it. If the rat ingests some of the powder,it's a good thing as it acts as a wormer and nutrient too. It also deodorizes. Farmers buy huge sacks of the stuff to use in their chicken coops and other pens.
I just spent a lot of money and time getting rid of scaly mites from one of my new birds. I could have gone with the DE only and accomplished eradication much cheaper and faster.
I'd shampoo the rat with a vet approved wash and then when the rat was fully dry, I'd very carefully (to avoid eyes and lungs) rub some DE into the rat's fur. Bye bye lice!
People with fire ants pour this stuff into the red ants' nests. It does a great job of killing them.
DE kills,fleas,ants,lice,mites,bugs that bother house plants,bugs that bother garden plants. Snails and slugs don't like to cross over DE because it hurts their slimy feet.
I bought my DE at my pet store.
