Nope. Skip the turtle bites, and instead get Reptomin, or jurassi diet (what I use with my turtles) the crickets are ok, but shouldnt be fed too often (once every two weeks, 2 -3 crickets per turtle is more than enough) be sure to include vegetable matter (red leaf lettuce, endives, raddichio, basil, are good) and aquatic plants like (anacharis, horn wort, duckweed, are awesome and more nutritious) You can also include a vitamin supplement as well (I use reptivite) but it's up to you.

Reptomin's fine. Just try to stay away from constantly feeding the turtle anything that could be considered a treat, like crickets or shrimp or krill or what not.

Veggies are a good additive, as well. Depending on how old you turtle is, s/he may or may not take to them. Younger turtles are mostly carnivorous, but begin developing a taste for greens as they mature. But offering plants never hurts. You should really balance your turtle's diet along with supplimenting with the pellets. My babies eat Reptomin baby pellets while the older RES refuses any other but Wardley.
