You can't train your turtle in the traditional sense. It will become accustomed to you feeding it on a regular basis. It will be less scared. 1 inch is extremely small! Just hatched? You can throw some reptomin pellets (you can buy these at any pet store and even walmart) in the tank and even a worm or two. It will eventually eat. If you keep your tank outside you will need to clean it pretty often, and be careful of feral and even domestic animals. They will figure out a way to get at the turtle, they are crafty. I'd recommend bringing it inside, or on a screened patio while you're away. It will need a way to also get away from the sun or the water will get way to hot! Good luck!
