Turtles have a varied diet which includes fruit and vegetables as well as meat. As a general rule a younger turtle will eat more meat, and as they get older he will shift to eat more fruits and vegetables. Of the fruit and vegetables you provide, around 80-90% of total should be made up from vegetables and flowers, with just the remaining 10-20% coming from fruit. Generally, green and leafy things should be the largest part of their diet, while you should avoid fibre-rich vegetables such as lettuce and celery.  Good vegetable choices include kale, parsley, green beans, bell peppers, and cabbage. Small amounts of spinach and broccoli are also good choices. Flowers including carnations, roses and hibiscus can be added for variety. For the fruit content use apples, bananas, pears, grapes, kiwi and melon. Unlike tortoises, turtles also eat meat. This is an important part of their diet so be sure to have a regular supply of animal-based food for your turtle, including live food. The type of things you should feed your turtle includes crickets, mealworms, waxworms and other small grubs and insects. If your turtle is aquatic it will need to eat small fish such as comet goldfish, mosquito fish, or even aquatic snails.  You can buy live worms and crickets from your local pet store, as well as pre-packaged dead ones. Feeding your turtle live crickets can seem a little tricky, but it helps to replicate how a turtle would eat in the wild. An easy way to provide food for your turtle is to use specially prepared turtle pellets which you can buy in your local pet store. These will be designed to provide the range of minerals and vitamins your turtle needs. If you are trying to replicate how a turtle would feed in the wild, however, the pellets are less authentic than fresh greens and insects. If you use pellets try to make them part of a balance with fresh food. Think of pellets as forming the only the foundation of the diet. For a creature with a diet as varied as a turtle, getting a good balance of all the different dietary elements is important to maintain your turtle's health and well-being. There is no absolute fixed ration of plant-based feed to animal-based feed, and each turtle will vary, but aim to provide equal amounts of each of these main food types.  Using supplements can help to ensure your turtle gets all the necessary vitamins and minerals. Consider dusting food with calcium and vitamin supplements before offering it to your turtle. Add the calcium supplement to his food twice a week. If you are unsure about the right balance for your turtle speak to your vet. As well as feeding your turtle you need to ensure that he has constant access to a water source for drinking. Ensure there is always fresh water in a bowl that the turtle can easily access and not easily knock over. Take care to make sure that the water stays clean and replace it if gets contaminated.
