Answer 6

outside bugs are always a bad idea. if you want your turtle to eat live. go to a bait shop and get minnows and crayfish. plants are also good. never just feed an animal something that is FULL of diseases. if you want. go get minnow traps and trap some in your lake. just check the water in the lake for poisons.

Answer 7

You may think that by finding roaches around your house or yard provides food for your pet while at the same time riding you of pests... but that's actually dead wrong.

Roaches are not part of a turtles naturally diet because they live in the water and roaches do not. Roaches from your yard are plagued with diseases, fertilizers and pesticides that can make your turtles really sick. The equivalent would be to feed snakes to humans. Yes, we could eat them if we were hungry enough, but they are not in our natural diet, they are bacteria ridden, and there are so many healthier options out there.

Likewise, feed your turtle things that it would normally eat if it were in the wild, such as minnows, dryed river shrimp, or turtle pellets from your pet store. Don't try to get creative by feeding your pet insects from your home... just stick to a healthy diet approved for turtles!

Answer 8

Why do you want them to eat roaches? But I don't think that they can. And if they did, take them to the vet.

Answer 9

If the roaches have not been contaminated with insecticide, they are a good source of protein.
