Question : Is this good for Red Eared slider turtle feeding? We use thin long pellets.
Answer : Can you break up the pellets into shorter pieces? The opening of the feeder might not let enough food drop through if they are so long that they won’t fit. In my experience, tiny round pellets for small fish or bigger flakes can be easily adjusted with the setting. Larger pellets will work, probably no problem, just has to be tested according to your needs. Still the best feeder I have ever tried.
Question : Is there any way to set this up for my turtle if I have a mesh top on the tank?
Answer : If the food will fit through the mesh, then it should be no problem. If not you would have to cut a rectangular strip hole as the drum rotates, it drops food, so I would say the the hole would need to be 1" x 4".
