Water Turtle Diet
Water turtles must be in the water to eat. They are predominantly carnivores, but will often enjoy good fruits and greens. You may feed your turtle earthworms, redworms, mealworms, whole feeder goldfish, snails, crickets, kibbles, reptomin, trout chow and king worms. Do not feed your turtle tubifex worms, raw chicken, hamburger or organ meat. It is safe to feed it cooked chicken. Feed your turtle every 2 to 3 days. Just like a dog, if he gets too big, feed less, too small, feed more. Some turtle owners feed their pets daily, alternating fresh veggie and fruit mixes with meat on alternating days.
Feed your turtle a vitamin twice a week. He will need Calcium, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin A. You may find a product formulated specifically for turtles or reptiles. Some bird vitamins will contain what you need for your turtle’s nutrition.
