Can you put turtle pelletes in the water for them?
When feeding aquatic turtles you have to put both the turtles
and the pellets in water for the turtles to be able to eat the
pellets. Unlike humans, aquatic turtles have fixed tongues meaning
that they can't move them. So to get the food down their throat
they use water. A turtle may grab a chunk of food on land but then
they will rush to the nearest water to swallow it. So yes, feed
your aquatic turtles in water.
