They only supply protein, nothing more. Don't get the turtle addicted to it. Pellets are a better choice as they offer all the nutrients required for the turtle. Prawns are fine as a treat. Too much will cause rapid growth which leads to problems in the organs.
Red eared sliders are for life, not just the weekends.
