Hey I fed 3 worms to my turtle and she loved it. What I'm concerned is if my turtle will die from eating them. I used the bucket technique to capture the worms. I filled a bucket full of soapy water and dumped it into the . I cleaned out the worm with as much water I can. If there are still some soap left on the worms will my turtle get sick from eating too many soapy worms.

Call the vet or after hour clinic and just ask them about this.....Most will tell you over the phone...
I was wondering the same thing..why would you wash worms with soap..or if they had any on them...Really depends on if the worms ate any soap...I guess you will have to wait and see and hope for the best

I wouldn't take any chances but instead take your turtle to an emergency vet hospital especially since it's the weekend and not many vets have business hours on the weekend. Better to be safe than sorry as the ol' adage goes. And 'when in doubt, get it checked out' which is a variation of 'when in doubt, throw it out' referring to spoiled food.
