Are they good for them?

Oh yes. Blueberries are low in sugar compared to other fruit and nuitritious. They contain vitamin E which helps a turtle shed scutes when he/she needs to.

YES, very good for turtles because they contain a lot of antioxidants!!!

They are my Sheba's FAVORITE food (mine too so we share them!).

How many blueberries do you give? Do you just throw them in the tank?

I usually drop in about 4 whole fresh ones at a time. They sink.

Throw 'em in and let the turtle find them. Mine tends to eat the insides out and leave the skin behind.

I only give Sheba 1 or 2 blue berries at a time because I don't want her to gain weight (she is already pretty large). I show them to her thru the glass first & she goes crazy when she sees them! Then I put them on her basking dock & she bites them off the dock.

oh yeah, henry likes blueberries, fun to watch him chase it. gotta make sure it won't get stuck somewhere though. if it does hes goes crazy trying to get it

How often should I give blueberries? Are they only good in moderation? Or should I feed them quite often? I just picked up some blueberries and put 4 in the tank for the first time about an hour ago when I fed Wilson. I just checked and he had the last piece hanging out of his mouth. He must love them!!!

Blueberries should only be fed maybe once every 2 weeks because of the sugar content.
