well i bought some Papaya yesterday for my turtle and noticed it had a shiz load of seeds i was wondering it its ok for the turtle to eat the seeds with the pieces of Papaya or even if i should like dry them or just keep them and give them the seeds as treats or if they have no value to them at all and just toss them out
The reason your turtle cant eat seeds or nuts are because they are rather hard to digest,it might just go trough the body ,it wont kill it but it would make help either.
Seeds could cause the same type of blockages that gravel does. Do not feed anything that your turtle cannot process.
Also, papaya should be fed in small amounts once per month only, as it's high in sugar.
