Feeding and Nutrition :: What's your turtle's favorite food?

[ShellbyRES16x]

Speedy's is a kind of turtle food specifically formulated for growing turtles, and occasional waxworms. He just gobbles them up!

How about you guys?

anything edible! He really loves to eat.

live feeder fish :]

Anything he can break off. I don't think I've found something he doesn't like.

I am not too sure how much greens squirt was given in his previous 'homes'. He took a while to get used to lettuce, but he gobbles it up now. The only part of the Romaine lettuce he leaves is the thick white area in the middle of the leaf.

He goes nuts at feeding time. It's even funnier now that with his water deeper he can't stand on the bottom to beg for food. He does this funny treading water thing.

fish tuna but mainly pellets

I think Hurricane's favorite is blueberry skin/casing. Typhoon's got a close tie between blueberry insides/seeds, lettuce, and carrots. Ty is so funny, she grabs her piece of lettuce, and swims around with it forever before she eats it.

Selenia loves the mixture from Flukes buffet.
Sometimes she eats cooked chicken.
But, I cannot get her to eat any greens, veggies or fruits.

Will this be an issue as she gets older? Will her tastes change? Should I keep trying to give her greens and the like?

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

HBH Turtle Bites (sadly that is not what I bought last time, was low on cash).

But they love any sort of shrimp (dried jar stuff or live)...

[wiccabrat]

Mostly strawberries, even my soft shell will take a strawberry before meat, but earth worms would be the runner up around here. Mostly they'll eat whatever we give them though, I haven't run into a picky eater yet.

chocolate and ice cream

brine shrimp and repto sticks, and watching him chase feeders/goldfish/minnows is soooooo fun. Especially in the deep part of the pond. Havent gotten them to like veggies yet, tried carrots and lettuce but no luck

Dark leafy greens. I've put a piece of lettuce in there at the same time as things like carrots or grapes or something, and it's straight for the lettuce. What can I say, I got a good little green eater on my hands!
