He has had at least two different homes, so his age is a bit of a mystery. He is very curious and has a healthy appetite! He loves all kinds of turtle foods and carrots! He's still learning to like lettuce. He will swim figure 8's around his tank and it is so cute! He's curious about his surroundings and often pops his head up out of the water to check things out. He eats frozen adult turtle food cubes, turtle nutri sticks, shrimp chasers, freeze-dried chicken/duck/fish cubes, dried shrimp, crickets, and mealworms. Crush is a growing boy- about 6 inches long and will need a 70-gallon tank (or bigger) due to his size. He will also need an adequate basking area that can hold his weight and size. He loves to swim but also likes to rest outside of the water. He likes to explore his foster home's yard and enjoys some real sunshine in the warmer months (must be always supervised outside so he doesn't zoom away).
