Pet turtles are omnivores that eat prepared turtle pellets, leafy greens, crickets and mealworms. It is important to provide a varied diet to a pet turtle to ensure proper nutrition.
The smellier the food it seems the more attracted they are to it. Most will readily eat cantaloupe, strawberries, mango, papaya, banana, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, grapes, tomato and other such fruits. The riper the fruit the more they seem to enjoy it. Sweet potato, squash, green beans, green or red peppers. Some but not all Box turtles will eat red leaf lettuce, dandelion and chicory along with other good greens. To get a fussy Box turtle to eat their fruits, veggies and greens they can be chopped into small bits and mixed into their favorite foods like a mash.
