at least for my variety of aquatic turtle, they start out carniverous when they're little and become vegetarian as they get older.

he used to eat guppies, now he eats turtle pellets - they're about the size of bb's and they smell like fruit loops cereal. I also give him fresh fruit occasionally, he likes grapes and tomatoes the best.


I once wrote to a turtle owner's message board and asked how you can tell if you're overfeeding your turtle. They responded with,
"if the turtle goes into his shell, and the pudge comes out, he's too fat."
