∙ 15y agoAnswer: Fresh fruits(fruit cocktail as a treat), fresh vegetables(mine likes orange peppers), red wrigglers(worms), earthworms, night crawlers, crickets and meal worms. Half of their diet should consist of insects and worms and the other half should consist of vegetables and fruit. You can also buy Box turtle food at some pet stores. Give them a variety of food options and change it up. Be random with what you decide to give them each day.

∙ 14y agoI have two turtles (a male and female). I feed mine strawberries and bananas, both finely chopped, in the morning. And a mixture of corn, chopped tomato, and fat free Hot Dogs weiners. Sometimes I throw in applesauce which makes the smell stronger. If you happen to come across any earthworms or crickets throw them in the pen/ terrerium. Hope this helps! Corn, chopped tomato, and hot dog weiner mixture: 1 tablespoon whole corn (from the can) 1 tablespoon chopped tomato 1 tablespoon chopped hot dog weiner (I use fat free) Mix together well
