Turtle feeding precautions.

Turtles that are herbivore and insect-eating should also be sure to have a nutritionally balanced diet. It is also important to feed the turtle whole small animal food, such as small fish, mealworms, crickets, and wax borer larvae, and should try to provide balanced nutrition at full price. Many plant-based feeds lack calories, protein, and calcium, while insects and grubs lack vitamins and minerals.

If the feed is mainly insects, calcium should be added, because insects do not have more phosphorus and less calcium.

The best sources of calcium for turtles are crispy beef bones, crushed beef bones, egg shells, crushed oyster powder, calcium lactate pill fragments or powders. The way to add vitamins and calcium to the turtle is to put the insect in a plastic bag, put a small amount of vitamin and mineral additive powder in the bag, shake the plastic bag to mix the powder on the insect, and immediately feed the insect to the turtle. Turtle growers in captivity lack minerals, and minerals and vitamin additives should be added to the feed.
