Pet turtles have specific nutritional needs to stay healthy. Their diet should include a variety of foods such as leafy greens (like collard greens, kale, and dandelion greens), vegetables (such as carrots, squash, and bell peppers), and some fruits (like strawberries and apples) in moderation. Additionally, they require a source of protein, which can be provided through commercial turtle pellets, live insects (like crickets and mealworms), and occasional cooked lean meats or small amounts of fish. It's important to also provide calcium and vitamin supplements to ensure they are getting all the nutrients they need. Make sure to research the specific dietary requirements for your pet turtle species, as nutritional needs can vary between different types of turtles.
