Hello,
Just wondering if it is okay to feed my RES baby corn. I gave her a piece and she loved it. Just wanted to find out before i gave her more.
Thanks !!!

corn is very high in starch - like a potato. It really isn't very good for a turtle. Just that one time won't hurt, but for future treats better to give something like berries or a little steamed sweet potato.

Its a little too starchy but if you give it once in a great while it probablly won't hurt.
