I started a discussion about feeder turtles in this thread.

Here pics of the little guys. After buying them, I don't think I'll ever feed them. They really are kinda cute and also a lot less meaty them the frogs (at the same price) ... so better as pets I guess. The ones in the pictures are now happily swimming in a friend's pond on his rooftop.

To answer another question from the above thread, they are definately farm raised and bred specifically to be fed to large, predatory fish.

:D

I love soft shell turtles. I think they are awesome creatures. I can see how they would be sold as feeders though. If they have a lot, why not? They are "soft shell" Nice save!
 
Those softshells are sooo cool. I could never feed a turtle to my fish.
