Feeding and Nutrition :: Cheese?

Can RES eat cheese?

[scripta_elegans]

Not a good idea. Dairy products aren't a part of a turtle's natural diet, and can make them sick.

nope

[AllTheCandies]

this makes sense

[blackforces get you]

since most turtles eat everything, mine are very picky. they wont eat anything that smells edible.

I'm not sure I understand...if something smells edible, I would think they would want to try to eat it.

well I think I get it... Turtle food definately doesn't smell edible to us. So I'm sure our food doesn't smell "edible" to them, although they will eat anything you put in their tank.

I fed mine a tiny piece of cake (no sugar, very light) just to see what happens and he went midieval on that crumb.. Came back up and starting begging for more.

So.... Yea they will most likely eat it, but should they? Problably not ... I can just imagine how bad the farts would smell ahahah

if it smells edible, they will eat it, or at least try to.
