Answer 2

Turtles eat vegies, fruit and insects. They like earthworms. And strawberries, and crickets, and greenbeans. If they are big enough they might eat goldfish or guppies. However, that is usually just soft shell that eat fish. Sometimes, you can get them to eat canned dog food or yogurt. They need calcium, so if you do just vegies or insects make sure you get some calcuim powder from your local pet store. Never ever feed your turtles lettuce. There is too much water content in it, and it bloats them up and makes them sick. However, other greens like colored, turnup or even dandilion are good. But not lettuce!

Answer 3

Both aquatic and terrestrial turtles have similar feeding habits, although aquatic turtles seem to keep eating meat even when they are older, whereas terrestrial turtles have a tendency to eat more vegetation. Older turtles eat less meat because they require less protein, therefore, special care must be taken not to overfeed turtles with protein rich food. As for vegetation, turtles like berries, and some leafy vegetables, including lettuce, cabbage, alfalfa, and clover.
