Small turtles get their food by foraging for it in their natural habitats. This includes scavenging for insects worms snails and other small animals as well as searching for vegetation such as aquatic plants fruits and berries. Some species of turtles also feed on carrion or the carcasses of dead animals.

Turtles have specialized adaptations for foraging such as long necks and claws that help them reach food in hard-to-reach places. They also have powerful jaws and strong beaks that allow them to crush and eat hard-shelled prey. Depending on the species small turtles may also feed on small fish frogs and other aquatic life.

Small turtles will also scavenge for food in their immediate environment. This includes looking for insects worms and other small animals on land or in shallow waters. Turtles may also search for vegetation such as aquatic plants berries and fruit. Additionally some turtles will feed on carrion or the carcasses of dead animals.

Turtles eat with their mouths. They can outstretch their necks and use their snapping mouths to "snatch up" prey like worms, bugs, mushrooms, and more.
It usually chews the food until very small peices remain and then swallows.It cannot eat big chunks of food because it may choke,as it has a very skinny and short neck.
They use there teeth and yes they DO have teeth.
Turtles can eat food if you drop it in the water or if you give the turtle food with your finger. Trust me, I have a turtle of my own ( 2)
