    • 1). Prepare your turtle's meal. Feed it a variety of whitebait, prawns, large worms and other insects. If the food has been in the freezer, bring it to room temperature before feeding it to your turtle; never give your turtle food that's still frozen.

    • 2). Cut the food into small bits. Generally, a single piece of food should be no wider than your turtle's mouth. Each meal should be about the size of your turtle's head.

    • 3). Place the meal into the aquarium. Long-neck turtles prefer to feed in water, so place the food there. The water temperature must be kept at around 25°C (77°F) or it will be too cold for your turtle to comfortably feed in.

    • 4). Wait about an hour then remove any uneaten food from the aquarium. Do not let leftovers sit in the water.
