I feed my baby turtle (she is less than 3 inches big) grub worms from a bait shop and the turtle food you can buy at pet stores. Dried krill and shrimp. She doesn't like the reptile sticks, though. Maybe your turtle will! As she gets older, I will try more fruits and vegetables but right now she isn't really interested in those foods.

An adult turtle will require an herbivorous meal, meaning fruits and vegetables. Usually they will eat berries and melons. They prefer red and orange foods. A younger turtle will also eat these foods, but also require some proteins, as from crickets, and worms.
