  1. What you feed a turtle is lettuce


  2. Small turtles are carnivorous. Feed earthworms, fishes (not goldfish), and soft-bodied insects. Strips of liver dusted in bonemeal are good too. When they get older, you can add dark green leafy vegetables to their diet, depending on what kind of turtles they are.

  3. look it up

  4. turtle food

  5. i have 4 turtles and i give them treats all the time and they don't stop eatting there normal food the only time they will stop eatting if the water is to cold and they won't eat at all and if its warm they will eat.....i give them corn, lettuces, carrots, berries, cabbage, alfalfa, clover, fish food, bit of meat but it has to be cooked, fruits and vegetables.

    The following fruits and vegetables can be given to aquatic turtles (and box turtles): grated carrot and squash, cut apple and pear, corn (cooked kernels), peas, most tropical fruits (banana, papaya, guava, etc.), grapes, most berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.), most leafy greens (romaine lettuce, collard, kale, mustard, dandelion, watercress, arugula, parsley, etc.), most melons (cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, etc.), and many others.

    Insects: Dragonfly larvae, mayflies, caddisflies, beetle larvae, crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms (land beetle larvae, not a species of worm), roaches, wax worms (a kind of moth caterpillar), etc.

    Mollusks and worms: Snails, clams, earthworms, blackworms, etc.

    Amphibians: Small frogs, tadpoles, salamander larvae, etc.

    Fish: Young goldfish, rosy red minnows, common guppies, mosquito fish, fish eggs, etc.

    Aquatic turtles can be fed raw or cooked lean ground beef, cooked chicken or turkey, and lean canned dog foods. Dry cat and dog foods can also be fed. These meats are not complete nutrition so other foods must be given. See under additives on how to make meatloaf for turtles. Never feed raw chicken because it may carry salmonella. Never feed pig products because they are too fatty.

    you can also buy dead crickets, mealworms, caterpillars, and grasshoppers which some aquatic turtles may eat.
