My baby turtles, George and John, know that it is feeding time when I slide the cover to their cage back an inch, or so, so that I can drop bits of sun-dried red shrimp into their cage. They scurry to the edge of their aquarium where they know that their food will land. I find this to be a very cute and intelligent behavior. My turtles tickle my funny bone. When they are done eating their shrimp, I drop green floating food pellets in to them. They then, happily, devour these. Feeding my turtles is a very pleasant way to start my day.
