HATCHLING TURTLE CARE. Hatchling and baby turtles can be kept in aquariums or plastic tubs of various kinds. I used a 15 gallon plastic storage tub. Plastic storage tubs are very cheap and work well for temporary homes if you do not want to buy a more expensive aquarium.
All of these are herbivores. (see Reference 6) When they are young, such minnows as lake chub, speckled dace, golden shiner, emerald shiner, and California roach eat plankton. (see References 3 and 4) Other young minnows, such as brassy minnow, hitch, common shiner, and spottail shiner, eat algae.
Typical Adult Salamander Diet: Adult Salamanders are extremely carnivorous, eating almost anything that moves. Theyâll readily eat maggots, mysis, springtails, buffalo worms, fruit-flies, or crickets. I will often offer them red mosquito larvae on a wet tissue.
