What do I feed my stinkpots?

I've got two stinkpot turtles (musk turtles) and I'm just wondering what is good to feed them, how much and also how often they should be fed.

At the moment I'm feeding them a little pellet of blood worms once a day and they seem to be pretty content with that, though I wonder if it's too often to feed turtles.

What else can I feed the little buggers? They're about a year old.

    Once per day is fine, although you can start lengthening the time between feedings. Beside the things renee suggested, you could try strips of liver, preferably dusted in bone meal.

    "Diet: Stinkpots eat a variety of animals and plants. Their diet includes worms, snails, clams, crayfish, insects, tadpoles, fishes and their eggs, and even bites of flesh they take from dead animals. Stinkpots are also fond of seeds, tiny aquatic plantlike growths called algae (AL-jee), and pieces of plants that grow in the water."
