My turtle will eat a grape right out of my hand. She also loves strawberries and carrots.

Their staple is Reptomin pellets, but I notice shrimp and krill get attacked with more fervor than the pellets. Also they go bonkers over the aquatic plants, I don't even have time to wedge it inbetween the rocks in the tank before the red belly slider and the painteds are all over it. In two days only staulks will remain, and a day later there is no trace of plant life.

They also love living things; feeder fish, frogs, etc.

Still can't get them into cuttlebone though, I'll try soaking it in tuna fish to give it some taste. Blueberries were also a fail.
