Dark leafy greens such collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, kale etc.

romaine lettuce is probably acceptable but not as nutritious as other dark leafy greens. Never feed iceberg lettuce (poor nutritional value)

spinach (only occasionally due to high oxalic acid levels)
broccoli stems and leaves
carrot
beets
soaked alfalfa pellets, fresh alfalfa hay
pea pods
edible flowers such as hibiscus, nasturtium, dandelions
clover
strawberries
berries such as black berries, raspberries, blueberries
grapes
apples
mango
peaches
papaya
apricots
tomatoes (occasionally)
banana
kiwi
melon
corn on the cob can be an occasional treat

Animal Items
A variety of fresh and natural prey items is the best choice, and can be obtained from pet stores and bait shops. You can feed items caught outdoors too but be very careful about possible exposure to pesticides. Box turtles kept outdoors will probable hunt down wild insects and other invertebrates on their own, too.

crickets
earthworms
grass hoppers
beetles
caterpillars
mealworms
wax worms
super worms
red worms
snails
slugs

It would have helped if you would let us know what kind of turtle you have. I could take a guess that it might be a red-eared slider from a pet shop, but it could also be something you found.

Rather than trying to guess what the turtle is, I'm going to add a link to a webpage about turtles. This will give you pictures and caresheets for a lot of different turtles and medical information in case you ever have a problem with him: http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/

I hope you find what you need!
