Answer 2

If your tutrtle wants to eat it it will be OK. But if it eats vegatables it is probably a tortoise not a turtle.
You don't say what kind, box turtle? Ca. Desert tortoise?
Land "tutrtles" are primarily vegatarians ( some are known to eat carrion at times ) Beets are a good feed, lots of sugar for them to build fat reserves, minerals and vitamin A. Here in Oklahoma box turtles like to eat tomatoes and really seem to like melons and cucumbers. Never heard of them digging up beets!
