I've had pet turtles, and they would eat small feeder goldfish, and on occasion lettuce. As far as the turtle pellets, none of my turtles ever touched that stuff, and it would just turn to mush in the water.

Answer 7

WELL, THAT DEPENDS ON THE TURTLE! I HAVE A SOUTHERN FLA. SNAPPING TURTLE,..NOW SHE'S TOTALLY CARNIVOROUS! BUT, SOME EAT VEGETATION, OR A MIXTURE OF BOTH. ALSO, LIKE MY SNAPPER, (I GOT HER AS A HATCHLING). I HAVE RAISED HER TO EAT THE NEW PROCESSED FOODS THEY HAVE ON THE MARKET TODAY. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED FEEDING QUALITY LIVE FOODS TO MY HERPS, BUT ESPECIALLY NOW IN TODAYS MARKET, THEY HAVE PROCESSED TURTLE FOODS. LIKE PELLETS, THAT EVEN HAVE THE VITAMINS ETC. FOR GOOD COLOR DEVELOPMNENT. SO, I REGULARLY FEED MY BABY 2 YR. OLD SNAPPER THE PELLETS, & ALWAYS KICK HER DOWN SOME NIGHTCRAWLERS OR REDWORMS ETC. AS A TREAT ALSO. SOME DAY IN A YEAR OR 2 SHE'LL BE ABLE TO EAT BABY DUCKS OFF THE TOP OF THE WATERS SURFACE! ALL IN ALL?? IN MY OPINION, & EVERY GOOD HERPER I'VE EVER HEARD OF WILL TELL YOU, THAT A GOOD HEALTHY, BUT VARIED DIET, IS THE BEST. LIKE WITH MY TURTLE,..IT COULD LIVE WELL, AND NEVER EAT ANYTHING BUT THR PELLETS. BUT I BELIEVE THEY ALSO SHOULD HAVE THE EXCITEMENT OF AT LEAST HUNTING, & POUNCING ON A LIVE PREY ANIMAL, & THEN CHUGGING IT DOWN!, "GULP"!
