What can i feed my turtle on?

Question

i have a soft shelled elephant necked turtle and the pet shops have not had any dried turtle food infor about 2 months now and iv run out.

what else can i feed him on?

fruit? veg? fresh meats such as prawns?

Answer 1

Small turtles are carnivores. Try earthworms, fishes (not goldfish), and soft-bodied insects. When you can't get enough live food, try strips of liver dusted in bone meal. As turtles get older, they may accept dark green leafy vegetables.

Answer 2

I used to grate apples, carrots. sweet potatoes and shredded lettuce and give it to my daughters turtle.  He just loved it!!!

Answer 3

Turtles of any kind eat and love lettuce. Try that. You can also feed him hamburger, they like raw hamburger and small other meets. You can also try ordering turtle food and other products online. Try going to petsmart.com or other sites like that. You can even try different meats and see which ones your turtle likes the most. Even feeding him plain lettuce will prevent him from going hungry. Good luck!
