Try www.chelydra.org for lots of good info on these animals!
Snappers eat a variety of meats. Young eat small fish, crustaceans, shellfish, worms, etc. You can also try chicken, etc. The link above offers lots of options and the pros and cons of many of them.
If it is a Super Wal-Mart you might get some food in the grocery store, or maybe in the goldfish or guppy tanks.

i got here upon a baby snapping turtle (Fred-Fred) whilst he grew to become into approximately as enormous as 1 / 4. i'm uncertain how some years I had him (3 or 4 possibly) He grew to become into in a tupperware bowl as quickly as I first have been given him and in a a hundred gallon aquarium till now I released him right into a pond. I fed him uncooked hamburger rolled up in little balls. whilst he have been given older I placed a hundred gold fish in his aquarium a week and often times nevertheless some hamburger. He grew to become right into a great puppy.

Snappers are technically omnivorous, but their diet consists mainly of meat. They like fish, tadpoles, crustaceans, and anything else that swims around the deep parts of creeks. Offering one lettuce is sorta like offering a T-bone steak to your pet rabbit.

These turtles are flesh eaters. The best thing you can do is to go to a fish bait store & pick up some minnows, shiners, nightcrawlers etc. & offer these to your turtle. You should have a very happy turtle with these food offerings.

Feeder fish. Walmart sells them. They are cheap and will breed constantly if given the chance!

He is a carnivore.
Feed fish, worms, minnows, feeder goldfish etc.
Just put them in the tank he will catch them eventually.
