What do three toed box turtles eat?
Nothing really!! <---- Terrible Answer Three-toed box turtles eat a variety of food including mealworms, strawberries, carrots, red-leaf lettuce, gree-leaf lettuce, romaine letuce, grasshoppers, worms, fish, and dandelions. If you feed a three-toed box turtle anything from nature such as dandelions or insects, make sure that there are no pesticides being used in the environment in which you got the food from. Raising mealworms is a fairly easy process and you can find extensive videos on how to breed them on youtube. Um. . . I recommend having a 50/50 diet with protein and fruits and vegetables but I'm no expert. I do know, however, that as turtles mature they tend to eat more vegetables and fruits than insects or fish. All this info pertains to three-toed box turtles based on what I have learned and you should always consult a local expert for more advice if you want to raise the turtle properly. These turtles make great pets and its usually better to get a captive bred rather than wild three-toed box turtle.
How big do Box turtles get in Kansas?
The only box turtles indigenous to Kansas are the Ornate box turtle and the Three toed box turtle. They both grow to an adult shell length of 6 inches. The biggest box turtles are Gulf Coast box turtles (not in Kansas) and they can grow to 8 inches or more in length.
