Day 21: What do turtles eat?


Yesterday, I got a turtle from my friend. He had her for a while but because she kept cutting his wires he decided to find a new home for her. I've never had a turtle and don't know much about what they eat. She's pretty big size and seems sweet but she hisses like a snake when we come near her. I don't know what kind of turtle it is but I know that is not a water turtle because she has little legs not the webbed kind. I did some research and found out that turtles eat fruit and vegetables but to stay away from milk products.


Vegetables: carrots, lettuce, corn, potatoes, green peas

Fruit: pumpkin
, apples, tomato, orange, mango

Today I will add a variety of these veggies and fruit and see what her favorites are.

Can you help me name her?  Let's meet this little beauty.

A little update on my turtle. She doesn't like eating carrots but enjoys lettuce. I gave her apple, orange and peach but I'm not sure if she'll eat it, she looked pretty full.
