Feeding and Nutrition :: Veggies question

Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

Post Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 1:13 pm   Veggies question

So my RES, Shelly, has been very stubborn and usually won't eat his veggies.

But FINALLY! He is actually eating them! I am very happy.

Anyway. I have been giving him lettuce which he just loves. Thats what he is eating the most.
He is also eating shreaded carrots...but not as much as the lettuce.

My question is...what other foods would you recommend for him. He is about 5 inches long if that makes any difference. I am unsure of his exact age.

Also...how much veggies should i be giving him? I don't want to overfeed him...or underfeed him either!


thanks
Shanna
