What Kind Of Turtle Do I Have And What Can I Feed It?

"Does not have it's eyes open"??? That's probably not good, even though it's just a hatchling it should have it's eyes open... But it may just be scared... with it being that small there should be others from the clutch around as well... It's probably an eastern box turtle. 
I'm going to assume it's a land species since you didn't mention finding him near water.. If you're planning on keeping him, for nutritional purposes, it's probably best to try and get him on a pellet food from the start.. You need to get a good quality pellet mix, soak a few in water and leave them close to the baby and a few around the habitat... Baby land turtles are VERY shy, and he won't eat if he's being watched... You need to give him leaves and stuff to burrow under and hide in... Google "Care Baby Turtles", and read through some of the top sites... You have a lot to learn if he's to survive in captivity.

You  can try www.wikipedia.org, or you can go to the google search bar. And then the last thing you should probably do, just take it to a pet shop and ask them. Hope this helps, good luck.

Turtles usually eat insects and bugs when they are small. Mealworms, waxworms and crickets can be bought from pet stores in the UK am guessing the states would be the same. If you are using turtle to mean tortoise they are veggie and would eat greens like clover or dandelion leaves and flowers. Without seeing a pic cant be sure which it is.

I found a turtle in my yard. It does have the red spots on its eyes. It has a redish stomach with brown spots. Its shell is flat and a little grayish brown.
