What to feed a box turtle

You are really lucky to have them! I had tortoises over the years and also one box,and here's what I find they like to eat: fruit (berries especially...) quality dog food (yes that's right, our guy loved it) lettuce bananas My best suggestion is to certainly TRY them with lots of things, as they can have different tastes depending on the indivdual. Bassically everything that you eat. O yes, MUSHROOMS are a favourite of box turtles in the wild! Have fun with your guys.

yes! mine loves scrambled eggs! he also eats those fruit cocktail mixes, which have pineapples, pears, and cherries, in it. he loves all of that. what else... he likes almost all fruit, and romaine lettuce. also he likes fish. box turtles need protein so make sure your get some. if they are young and fast enough you can buy those little feeding fish, and the will chase after those and eat them in their feeding bowls, if not mine likes tuna. ok i think thats all if you haev any questions feel free to ask.

i have a turtle, too. he's 3 years old now. i spoil him a lot. he loves fruits and leafy vegetables. but i also giv him frozen meats like fish and beef. i slice them into small pieces so my turtle can enjoy them. my turtle also loves spaghetti and anything i can put ketchup on.

My daughter and I purchased some turtles from a vendor in Chinatown and I have never fed them anything besides the turtle food. I don't even know what kind of turtles they are. They seem to be doing fine.

They seem to really enjoy lettuce and earthworms. If you don't want to dig the worms yourself you can pick them up from most places that sell fishing bait.

I have a red eared slider which is a turtle that likes to be in the water most of the time and she loves baby carrots and apples. The smaller turle I have is a western painted turtle that also stays in the water most of the time and he will eat beatles, worms, and grasshoppers. I think it depends on the age of the turtle, younger ones eat more protien and older ones eat more vegtables, that's what I've read anyways, and it seems to be true for these two.
