omnivore only...

Answer 2

Turtles are omnivores and they have no teeth but have a beak with a sharp edge which they use for cutting their food (some have strong jaws which they use to capture their food.

Dont ask question why the turtle has a beak..

Answer 3

It depends on the species (there are many types/species of turtle).

If you call a tortoise (a land species) a turtle then these are herbivores, but if you are referring to marine and freshwater turtles (that live in water) species, then these can be herbivores, omnivores or carnivores.

For instance Hawksbills eat sponges and Leatherbacks eat jellyfish (carnivores) while Green turtle adults eat algae (herbivores) and Flatback trutles eat sea cucumbers, jellies, soft corals, shrimp, crabs, molluscs, fish, and seaweed (omnivores).

Answer 4

Tortoises are almost always exclusively herbivores. Their diets usually consist of 100% plant origin. While some feeding programs call for the addition of some animal protein to their diet, this is controversial, and not necessary if a good balanced plant diet is fed.

Most aquatic turtles are primarily carnivores, and depending on the species, require a diet that contains from 65% to 90% meat. The remaining 10% to 35% is vegetable-based.

Most semi aquatic turtles are omnivores, and their nutritional requirements are usually met with a diet that is 50% meat and 50% vegetable-based. Depending on the species and their habitat, these percentages will be altered slightly.

Answer 5

turtles start as carnivores when they are young and grow into herbivores in adult years.
