No doubt we will have them as an invasive species here in the US soon.

Wigglers and small crayfish from the stream near my house, small minnows that I purchased or net-dipped from the river, earthworms dug up from the garden, guppies purchased from the pet shop, and, in the winter, when Morty was sort of halfway hibernating, I would feed him fish pellets. When I’d clean his fishtank, he would migrate to the bathtub ...

Then they would be GI-ants....
Get it..
Aaaahahahaha

HA! Very good.
The answer was staring me in the face!

That’s amazing! How big did he grow? Did you let him go or did he die an old mudpuppy in captivity?

I had young painter turtles in a largish aquarium inside, and a box turtle
- for decades - living in the window well off of the basement.

Insects collected in that window well / hole in the back yard, so the turtle
was well fed without any effort.

It would burrow down into the ground in the winter to get shelter from
the cold and snow. Then when the weather warmed up, there he was
‘topside’ again. It was almost amazing.

You know that box turtles can live up to 50 years?
