Cujo had his first blueberry today. after he finally realized he could eat it he enjoyed it. my question is how often should i give them to him and if i should peel the skin off of them

I usally don't peel the skin of of them. I would feed it as a treat once every 2 weeks

Honestly, as long as it's only one or two blueberries, once or twice a week won't hurt. Just don't overdo it since they do contain sugar. But I don't peel mine either, it makes them more interesting to watch! You can also freeze them (I recommend freezing fresh ones rather than those bags of them in the freezer section) and thaw them and drop them in. It's worked well for me, though they sink after being thawed, but still work.

Mine sink all the time. I don't peel mine, but I break them open so he'll eat them more willingly. I feed them by hand so breaking them open helps to not get bitten

How old/big do turtles need to be to eat blueberrys? I bought some but they look huge compared to my hatchling's mouths

Hmm, for a hatchling, I'd probably cut the blueberries in half or quarters, up to you. Also depends on the size of the blueberry.

I put blueberries in for my hatchling and they were a huge hit with them..Thanks for the advice

i was wondering too how much fruit my turtle could have, shes 11 years old and 9-10 inches, much larger and older than most of your turts, how much sugar can she take

She can have a half dozen blueberries at a time. Once in awhile a small strawberry would be nice too.
