Anyone out there have an Eastern Box Turtle?

Question

I can't get mine to eat anything but night crawlers. What do you feed yours?

Answer 1

Night crawlers are a good basis of the diet. These guys eat mostly bugs and worms in the wild. Try crickets, snails, etc. as well.

Here is a good link to a good diet article: http://boxturtlesite.info/diet.html

Answer 2

If it is a baby then feed it crickets but an adult should be feed 45% leafy greens such as escarole, dandelions, endive, mustard, and collards, NO lettuces or spinach! They aren't good for him.
45% hard mixed veggies such as an orange flesh squash the harder the better(acorn,pumpkin,butternut), fresh green beans, fresh peas, parsnip, and green bell peppers, carrots, NO broccoli or cauliflower, or avocado!
10% fruit such as figs, papaya, mango, pear, and berries. NO bananas, only very rarely as a treat.

Answer 3

no but i here they are very cool reptiles
