Answer 1

I am guessing it is a wild-caught turtle.  if so, please return where you found it before you kill it.  thank you.

Hold the cabbage and head lettuce but the other things can be fed to them. Earthworms are a special treat. Soft-bodied insects are best; hard-bodied ones can cause intestinal impaction if they form a large part of the diet.

If you have an adult, feed it from once per week (summer) to once per month (winter) but feed it all it will eat at one time.

Box turtles need a shallow dish for drinking and soaking. I don't know whether they NEED it to defecate in but they all seem to use it for that.
