Safe treats?
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2017 4:36 pm
Right now my turts eat a diet of pellets, minnows(that live in their pond) and veggies 3 times a week(Romaine, red leaf, and carrots)
But we don't give "treats" normally. We have other reptiles and keep mealworms on hand at all times, and we buy crickets once a month, which they get sometimes, but not often. So my question was are mealworms okay as a treat? What about the beetles they turn into? I see bugs floating in their pond sometimes and I know they eat things that fall in, I just don't want them to get sick off of something I purposely feed them though.
