Answer 4

You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily drop 20 or so in the tanks and watch them disappear in a few days! When I got these two 36 yrs ago all we had in back then  were goldfish to feed , so after 36 yrs and still going strong. They can eat goldfish!

garden worms, meal worms, snails, crickets, flies, crayfish small frogs, dragon flies and  anything that moves, but only as a treat.

They need leafy greens Romaine, Butter lettuce. (Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any other leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.

You probably already know that they get sick easily, shell rot, respiratory sickness, lopsided swimming, coughing, blowing bubbles from their nose.

**Swollen cloudy eyes means lacking in Vitamin A. Which we all need for good eyes. Google ‘vegetables with Vitamin A.and dried cubed tubiflex worms

Answer 5

If they are from a pet store all they eat is ''reptile sticks'' and the brand is ''wardley''. THESE ARE ONLY FOR AQUATIC TURTLES! For land turtles I'm thinking they would eat veggies and fruits. ;]

Answer 6

It depends on the turtle. Probably small fish for aquatic turtles. Small sliced up tomatoes for Box turtles. Or fruit for tortoises

Answer 7

They are carnivores: earthworms, fishes (not goldfish), soft-bodied insects, strips of liver dusted in bone meal.
