Hiya Kev-

Sounds like you did alot of research on your turt before you got it. Which is fantastic.

But sounds like your over doing it a bit. Remember now, he is just acclimating to his new surroundings so give him a chance to settle down (a day or two). But you maybe bombarding his senses with all these food at once. I'd stick with just maybe one item per day.

I know you're all excited and stuff and probably constantly watching over your tub right now and dying to see your turt eat (it'll happen just give him time), but just relax and so will your turtle.

Good Luck,
Gam
