A turtle will eat a variety of things. An aquatic turtle will eat insects. Insects should only be fed to a turtle a few times a week. They also eat crickets, mealworms, or comet gold fish. They also like mustard greens and collard greens.

What can sun turtles not eat?

"Sun turtle" is not a specific breed of turtle. It is a nickname for a group of turtle species known as Painted Turtles. There are four different types of painted turtles, Eastern Painted, Midland Painted, Southern Painted and Western Painted. Each one has it's own specific dietary requirements. Because sun turtles do not exist and is just a nickname for a group called Painted Turtles, which there are four different species of, you will need to find out exactly which species of painted turtle you own before dietary requirements can be recommended.
