Feeding Sea Turtles

To keep the turtles healthy, they are fed a specially made vegetable gel for breakfast.

Each turtle needs to be fed a particular amount of food to keep it healthy.

Sea turtles at the aquarium are fed based on their weight. Smaller turtles need more food per gram.

So a turtle that weighs 150g needs 0.07*150 = 10.5g of food each day.

Shelldon, the Green Sea Turtle, lives in an exhibit with other types of animals. He is fed in a very special way.
