Hi! My turtles name is Dezzy he's about 1 1/2- 2 inches
(he's a red ear slider) and I was wondering what type of vegetables
I could feed him and how much he can have. Also any recommendations
On pellet food? Currently I'm using wardly. And I'm wondering if that's
Not good enough for him. It doesn't have much vitamin D.

Thanks for your time

Wardly is a pretty good brand as far as I know. As far as food you should check out

I feed mine mazuri turtle pellets with green leaf lettuce 4 times a week. Mazuri pellets are really well formulated for a balanced diet, and its also cost effective if bought in bulk

^^Where did you find mazuri turtle pellets? I can only find the koi food.

Direct from Marzuri: http://www.mazuri.com/mazurifreshwaterturtlediet-1.aspx

Thanks devilduck. Sounds good but the shipping is a bit pricey.

Reptomin pellets,freezed dried shrimp, frozen krill,freeze dried Blood worms, live crickets, ghost shrimp fresh veggies as they or it gets older.My map likes zoo med baby turtle pellets. They are both just now a year old and just now started eating veggies ! Oh yea they also have eaten river minnows and live baby crayfish!! I have a river behind my house. They also like snails but beware they breed like crazy! oops posted twice ?

Thanks so much!! Currently I'm only feeding him Wardley which he/she seems to LOVE but Im going to get some lettuce in there

Try carrots also mine love them. Slice them thin. In the wild they would eat a lot of fish, crayfish and snails.I fish a lot and can tell you they love raw fish!

So far, I have tried the following pellets for my :

+ Tetra ReptoMin

+ Nutrafin Turtle Pellets

+ Exo Terra Pellets

+ Wardley's Reptile Premium Sticks

+ Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food Pellets Growth Formula

+ Mazuri Fresh Water Turtle Diet

And Mazuri is the best!
