Is turtle carnivore omnivore or herbivore?

Answer 1

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.
