American Box turtles are omnivores and will enjoy fruits, fungi, veggies, greens, mollusks, worms and insects. From research with wild turtles, we know they eat plants for almost half the diet and animal foods for a little bit over half the diet.
The most common land turtle in the pet trade is the box turtle. Named for their hinged shell, which they can close around their head, legs and tail, sealing themselves up like a box, box turtles as adults are omnivorous -- they eat plants and meat. As hatchlings, however, box turtles will prefer meat over greens.
