Turtles will eat feeder fish at random. Sometimes I think it's because they are omnivores, in combination with eing in captivity and never really seeing a fish before.

I haven't given mine any yet. Mine are pretty into chasing my fingers, so, they will probably go right after feeder fish.

Lol, putting any of yourself in the tank can be hazardous. I was fixing the suction cups on a turtle dock once and my turtle bit my arm (it just scraped off a bit of skin). Still love him though. He let go as soon as I screamed. My fault for not watching him while I adjusted something in his home.

it's a turtle he'll eat them when he's hungry, but he has to be hungry, hopefully you aren't still feeding him. I've feed my turtle live feeders many times and so far he's eaten all but 4 and for some reason won't eat the four. and now i have four fish of varying sizes living with my turtle. The fish still don't trust him when he's on one side of the tank they move to the other.
