My friend has a pond well over 10000 gallons.. In this pond is amazing creatures, but there are turtle with finrot she is going to take care of them and heal their shell rot but she does not know how to feed them because they onlyy eat In the water because they are red eared sliders. How can she feed them without getting them wet?!

Unfortunately they will only eat in water. She could feed them in a clean container with clean water that has a bit of H2O2 in it, then pat the shells dry with a cloth.

Yes, she would have to. Although they can go a significant amount of time without food. So if she feeds them heavily for a few days, she should be able to treat them for at least a week before they would need to be fed again.

My friend is wondering about how much hydrogen peroxide she would need. )
2ppm at the most. That works out to basically 2ml per liter. A gallon is about 4L. The amount depends on the size of the container she is using obviously, so some math might be in order if it's a large enough container. Might have to convert some things from metric to standard etc. Since they're turtles and not fish, the amount added can be a little more forgivable than with fish.
