    Hello! I read somewhere that adult turtles need to have a diet that is low in protien. Is this also true with hatchlings? I would imagine that hatchlings need high protien for their growing shells. Why do adult turtles not need high protien? Does it cause deformaties if they do get a lot of it? Zoo med advertizes their turtle foods are very low in protien, so it got me thinking. Thanks! Candace
