I was gifted a brand new containe of ZooMed box turtle food. Can my RES eat it? Would it still provide the same nutritional value for him?

While he can eat it, it will not provide as good of a balance. Plus, it probably can't hold up to being in the water as well, so it might make a mess in the tank. If it's not opened, can you exchange it?

No unfortunately. Its actually from the friend who sold me her old 55 gallon tank she used to have a box turtle in it and fed him the pellets so they are already open.
