So this is a surprise. According to everything I have researched, lookup, and read about soft shell turtles; they are carnivores. Well according to Austin Turtle Page's spiny soft shell turtle care sheet, Boba (is only a couple months old) is a odd ball, off-the-wall softie. He apparently likes lettuce! I gave Toku some red leaf and decided to give a piece to Boba to see if he would even use it as shelter. I honestly didn't expect him to bite it, much less continue to eat it! Again Boba is a baby turtle! Well he did, so I had to take a pic of this. By the way, he is not camera shy. Here is Boba eating his first piece of red leaf lettuce in his short life.......
