What Do Box Turtles Eat?  |
|
 I just found a box turtle at the river a couple of days ago. I've been trying to keep him as a pet, but he won't eat anything that I put in front of him. I've tried broccoli and some lettuce leaves and he won't eat either. What do you feed box turtles?

1.  kareng (3592) | 3 years ago |  Lettuce will give him the runs. Go to the pet store and get some reptile pellets. They are made especially for turtles. One of my daughters has had turtles for some time now and this is what she feeds. They all eat them so must taste good..haha.

2.  danny0001 (2345) | 3 years ago |  I think that turtles are different eaters so i think that you should take it back where you got it from then wait for a while to see what kind of food is there that you think that the turtle would eat, good luck

| 3. maries1952 (1408) | 3 years ago |  If you are going to keep a box turtle I am going to give you a link on the hows of keeping a box turtle
I know I used to have them as a child, and we would place them in the basement. we never saw any bugs anymore cause they ate all they could get.
Also if you go to a local exotic pet store your turtle will eat crickets, mealworms, super worms. etc.
Anyway here is the link and good luck with your new pet

| 4. Michele21 (2871) | 3 years ago |  We have had a box turtle for over 3 years now!! I didn't think he would last that long=) We usually get him the Meal Worms from the pet store, we give him the pellets also but he doesn't really eat them. Ours will eat tomatoes and carrots (uncooked). They are really cool!!

5.  Sacrificialclam (4467) | 3 years ago |  Reptile pellets would be your best bet. Lettuce can make it sick.
I've rescued 3 box turtles over the course of the past 2 weeks from the middle of the road.
I'd gladly cause a wreck to save a turtle. I released them all in my pond which is about an acre big. There are probably 30 to 60 other turtles in the pond.

| 6. book1962 (14723) | 3 years ago |  my mom and aunt also have a turtle and he eats lettuce, some wild green leaves which grow in the backyard, he loves bananas, cooked potatoes, and zucchinis. I cant understand why yours does not eat lettuce leaves.

| book1962 (14723) | 3 years ago | our turtle is about 25 years now with us and never got sick of lettuce I wanted to add. Of course you have to carefully wash and dry it before giving it to him. | |

| 7. patriciaqualls (4604) | 1 year ago |  I had a turtle for 5 years we fed him lettuce and carrots. Sometimes they just aren't hungry they don't eat every day. Just keep the food near him he will eat it sooner or later.

9.  turtlegirl (144) | 1 year ago | Box turtles eat live earth worms, frozen strawberries, moist cat food, baby food, and eggs. They eat a lot more protien rich food than you would think. They like meat. Sometimes at first it takes them a while to eat. They can go several months without food. Just offer the food daily and soak them in water daily. Until you find something they like. | |
