Reply:I think it would have way too much salt for a turtle.
Reply:To the extent feasible, please do try Reptomin, Wardley, fruit, vegetable, avoid pea, somewhat, %26amp; please do note that spinach is dangerous.





Meat has been okay f/ mine; however, check further:

My red-eared is "HopiaKuta"; my screennames are, generally, "hopiakuta", "kutahopia".





Thank You.
Reply:its too much for a turtles. do you have any vegetables [romaine lettuce, carrots] and fruits around the house? if you do, feed your turtles them and when you get the chance go to the store and buy some more floating sticks. good luck!
Reply:It may be OK as a treat but not as a primary food. Try to balance the diet with leafy, dark green vegetables, whole animals (other than goldfish), and occasional bits of liver.
Reply:It's the meat they like, and fowl is not bad, but I'd switch to fish meat if I were you. It's closer to their natural food. Whole feeder gold fish are even better, because then they'll get the nutrition from the bones, guts, etc.
