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.
