Soo i fed my hatchling a cricket, and when i came back to check up on him i noticed that there were little white eggs on the floor. I tried to clean them up the best i could, but they are to small for my little fish net to catch them.
So my question is it okay if he starts eating the rest?

thanks

I don't think they could be poisonous so either the turtle will eat them or they'll eventually be cleaned up by the filter.
Either way I wouldn't worry about it.
Are you sure they are cricket eggs?

I think they are.. I cant think of anything else they could be.. I put in a live cricket for lunch, and i went away from the room for about 3 mins then came back and i see a floating carcass split in two with little white ovals on the floor..
