Don't give in to begging (frantic swimming, staring at humans and slapping the surface of the water are all begging behaviors) otherwise you'll end up with overweight turtles...if they beg give veggies...my full grown male slider eats every other day but he gets anacharis or other veggies everyday + cuttlefish bone...

NO adult turtles do not vocalize nor hiss that's just air escaping from them when they withdraw their heads quickly in fact if you hear your turtle wheezing it means that he/she has mucous or phlegm in their nose and that may be a symptom of illness
