Eating & drinking

Turtles use bowls (not troughs) and stretch down to bite at their food. With no water bowl around, they drink from the sea or a pond.

Any kibble or a hay bale fills a Food Bowl (4 servings); any other food adds one serving. A water bucket fills a Water Bowl, a water bottle adds two servings.

Tips
