hey, I was reading about all of these forum topics and diets and such. I'm still new to this turtle business (got mine in March) and have been working on the diet thing. it's the hardest part about keeping a turtle for me, is the diet.
so first of all, I'll explain what I do for her diet.
I feed her in a seperate container (she doesn't seem to mind and eats well there).
On the days which I feed her (every other day) I feed her one leaf or half of a leaf (depends on whether its a small or big leaf) of red lettuce. I also sprinkle in some pellets (not a lot). I recently bought some freeze-dried crickets and put maybe 2-3 of those in.
Before I put the lettuce and crickets in, I spray them with a vitamin food spray from Zilla.
Oh, and usually there's a whole cuttlebone floating around but she's not the kind of turtle to go bonkers for them so usually it just ends up floating forever. She does take bites out of it, I've seen her chase it around maybe once.
On the days when I don't feed her I might give her a carrot or something else, but that's when I think of it.
So I'm interested in recipes or anything new to try and open to any advice or opinion. thanks so much!
