parsley...

Answer 2

There is a wide variety; it depends on the species. Most aquatic turtles are carnivorous at the younger stages eating insects and fish, and then become more vegetarian as they age eating a variety of pond plants and lettuce. Or you can just buy turtle pellets, which provide a balanced diet.

Answer 3

It would depend on the type of turtle you have. I have red ear sliders that are in the house, they eat store bought turtle food on a regular basis. But for snacks you can feed them lettuce, bread and they love bologna. The ones in the outside pond eat small guppies. If you have a box turtle, you can feed them lettuce, they also get their water from this, so make sure you keep fresh pieces of lettuce out for them.
