Lettuce and carrots are good.

---

hamburger and lettuce, celery too

---

Go too the pet store get meal worms or crickets think they eat those!

---

we used to feed ours letucce, tomattoes and carrots when we were a kid. Not sure what they are suppposed to eat or what they need, but they always seemed to like the tomatos

red leaf lettuce is the best lettuce to feed them because iceberg lettuce has no nutritional value, they like tomatoes bell peppers watermelon pretty much most veggies they also love dandelion leaves and clovers so let them walk around outside and munch on different stuff just watch them good they are quicker than you would think

Mostly fruits and vegetables. Just don't make the mistake of feeding iceberg lettuce only. Iceberg lettuce has NO nutrition. The greener the better. I once found a box turtle in my blackberry bush, it's face covered in purple juice. I'm guessing they really like berries. Box turtles also eat insects, so you may want to get some crickets to throw in. Why not invest in a book on keeping box turtles as pets?

lettuce and Strawberry's. Some will eat dog food.

They like lettuce and other vegetables.

Ok.. Why did you buy one if you did'nt know what they eat? They eat many types of foods. Fruits should be fed once a month well heres there diet.
