Do you have box turtles or RES? Most members have RES or other aquatics. If you intend to give this food to boxies, perhaps if you posted your question under the Box Turtle Discussion Forum, someone would have had experience with it.

I'm going to assume you're thinking of feeding this to a box turtle and not an aquatic.

I've seen it, but never used it because my boxie is so small that most of the can would go to waste quickly. If you're going to try it, you can mix greens and veggies in it. Don't forget to check the expiration date!

I feed it to my wood turtle and he seems to really enjoy it. In fact, when I first got him a few years ago, that was all that I could get him to eat at first.

I have fed it to our ornate boxie, and he loved it.
