Box turtles can eat almost anything, and eat a ton of stuff in the wild. You can plant almost any vegetable, melon, squash, berry, leafy green, clover, alfalfa, mushrooms, etc. and it will be OK.
The problem here is that box turtles are NOT mostly herbivores- they are insectivores that eat about 75% bugs, worms, snails, etc. and only about 25% plant material.
I know that a lot of places that ought to know better don't make this clear, or even offer wrong info, but everyone who has watched wild box turtles knows that they love the bugs and are pretty reluctant to eat most plants (except mushrooms, fallen fruit, berries, and a few other things).

the certainty that we stay and respiration and waiting to do lots of those issues. the certainty that we at the instant are not rocks and a few divine twist of fate made use who we are somewhat of a few inorganic atom. the certainty we are able to grant issues nicely worth. we are able to categorise. Its all alluring, the sight, the sound, the texture, the emotion, the style. Even discomfort. we are able to sense that not many different issues can. discomfort could be painful, yet we are able to sense it purely as we are able to sense chuffed. Its astonishing somewhat that out of all of this we are able to do those issues. even yet it style of feels to suck each so often its nonetheless impressive. random certainty: in case you shoot a rabbit, it doesnt understand why it feels discomfort, it would not sign in that there is an evidence, it purely is known with it feels discomfort and as a reaction will run away, whether its loss of life. Shoot a human (whether they did not understand what a gun became into) it would comprehend its something released, have some style or know-how of what to do etc. I dont think of this became into proper yet its written now... yet while youre finding for one reason it would certainly be pie.

You could always try lettuce, I think there are a number of kinds of turtles that eat that. Something like cabbage or carrot might also work. However, DON'T try to feed it potato, because it can be poisonous.
