Pet turtles have specific dietary needs to stay healthy. They require a balanced diet that typically includes a combination of commercial turtle pellets, fresh leafy greens like kale or dandelion greens, vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers, and occasional protein sources like earthworms, crickets, or small fish. It is essential to provide a variety of foods to ensure they are getting all the necessary nutrients. Additionally, offering calcium supplements and providing a source of ultraviolet (UV) light for proper calcium absorption is crucial for their shell and bone health.
