Is there any species of turtle that is completely or mostly vegetarian?

Question

please don't make generalizations about turtles, and only answer if you know for sure. also, i am looking for a turtle that is commonly kept in captivity

Answer 1

Almost every tortoise is a herbivore.  If you meant an aquatic turtle, then there is none sorry.  But if you want a commonly kept, small sized, herbivorous tortoise, get a Russian Tortoise.  Look up some information.  I believe they are a grassland species, so you could buy grassland tortoise pellets and feed it spinach, kale, and pok choy.  Just research it before you get it please.  Here are a list of web sites that would probably have good information:

www.centralpets.com

www.reptilechannel.com (you could join the forums and ask questions)

www.youtube.com (type in "Russian Tortoise Care")

www.google.com

Good luck! :D

Answer 2

I have 3 rts and a box turtle,

Rts only eat green,no pellet food.

My box turtle eats greens and some meats.

All torts and turtles eat greens,box turtles can eat some fruit,

Heres some better sites to look at on the species and the care sheets,
