EACH meal should contain ingredients from the following categories:

High quality, reduced-fat, dog kibble (occasionally)
Commercial floating pellets or sticks for fish, reptiles, or turtles
Animal protein
(Less than 25% of the diet for adults) Live feeder fish (occasionally)
Earthworms
Finely chopped raw lean beef or beef heart
Cooked chicken
Snails
Tubifex worms
Mealworms
Waxworms
Pinkie mice
Crickets
Bloodworms
Vegetation
(50% or more of the diet) Collard greens
Mustard greens
Dandelions
Carrots (shredded root and top)
Squash
Green beans
Sweet potatoes
Apples (shredded)
Melon
Berries
Bananas
Grapes
Tomatoes
Plums, peaches, nectarines (NO PITS)
Supplements Dust all foods at each feeding with a general high ratio calcium-mineral supplement containing Vitamin D-3 such as Rep-Cal or Miner-All
Use a vitamin supplement twice a week
Offer cuttlefish bone as another calcium source
ummm no, turtles dunt eat mice
I wouldn't. Feed him a variaty of meaty and vegetable foods such as fish carrots and other healthy turtle foods.
LoL, no. Just because it's a reptile doesn't mean they eat mice. If you want to feed it something alive try feeder fish (goldfish or guppies) these give them exercise too.
You need to feed them veggies, fruits, and some live meat.

A turtle will most certainly eat a mouse. I feed my 10 inch slider live regular sized mice whenever I catch them in the house. She swims right up to them and takes it in one bite with no mess. It's easier for her to catch a live mouse than a live fish, and she loves them. What else was I gonna do with the mice... put them back outside so they can come right back in?
