What exactly is a Turtle's Diet?

Question

I wanted to know what to get my turtle because I'm not a real pro at raising turtles.

Answer 1

If you get an aquatic turtle like a red eared slider, I feed mine mainly floating turtle pellets, as well as crickets, worms,  and minnows, and sometimes they'll eat stuff like greens and romaine lettuce.

If you get a box turtle, they eat mainly insects and berries. Worms and crickets, as well as strawberries, blueberries, and greens and romaine lettuce.

If you get a tortoise like a Russian tortoise (they're very cool pets), all plants. Greens and romaine lettuce, squash and carrots, and grass or hay from the pet store.

This is just to give you a general idea of what they eat, so do plenty of research on whatever kind you pick so you can give it a good home.

Answer 2

aquatic turtles eat crickets and mealworms.  they also need to be fed pellet foods high in calcium and vitamin a. aquatic turtles must be fed in water.

Answer 3

depends on what turtle you have, most are omnivores, just some fruit and veggies with maybe some earthworms sometimes, you can also get some pellets and what not
