My turtle loves to eat everything. A small piglet as she is. :D
Special favorites are carrots, dandelion, green leaf lettuce, etc. ...and my fingers.
At first, refused to eat lettuce but now it is no longer a problem.

Aquatic plants is a touchy subject at the moment because he never had them.
I'm working on this problem right now.

I recently started feeling my turtle frogbit. It's a floating plant that I have it growing in my planted fish tank and it grows almost as fast as I can harvest it for the turtle.

She thinks she loves dandelions, until I give her some Belgium endive. That is her favorite thing in the whole world as far as I've seen.
she flies around the tank trying to hide her treasure from the other turtles, but....umm...she lives alone, so I don't know why she is hoarding it :)

I gave Shelby a carrot, and she begs for more. Dexter eats anything I put in the tank... But not carrots.
Turtles:
Dexter (RES)
Shelby (RES - gone and I feel really really bad).
Miracle (Box Turtle - Given to me after Shelby left us).
Orion (Mississippi Map Turtle).
