Since the hatchlings are from Delaware, they are actually northerns. You’ve got a good head start since you’ve had experience with the other types of turtles. I would set them up similarly with clean water and a basking site. A 25% saltwater solution gives optimum growth but many of our members prefer to keep them in fresh. Some live/plastic plants in their tank will help keep down toe nipping, etc. Make sure they have access to unfiltered sunlight or an aritificial UVB bulb also. You could start them on brine shrimp or bloodworms if their yolk sacs have been absorbed. Best of luck! -Chun
