Why has my turtle stopped eating lately2007-11-24 2:05:02

* Earthworms, Night Crawlers

* Ghost Shrimp

* Aquatic Snails/Apple Snails

* Slugs

* Wax Worms, Super Worms

**Be careful about Wild-Caught foods, they can carry parasites that can be transferred to your turtle. Freezing Wild-Caught foods for a month will help to kill off some parasites.

Fruits (small amounts for treats only)

* Apples

* Bananas

* Grapes

* Melon

* Tomato

* Strawberries

**Should be cut up in small, bite-size or match-like sticks that will be easy for the turtle to bite into and not choke on.

Veggies

* Squash

* Zucchini

* Carrots

* Greens- Red Leaf, Romaine, Collards, Kale, Dandelion Greens

**Stay away from Spinach. Make sure to cut the veggies in bite-size or match-like sticks so your turtle can eat them easily. Iceberg lettuce is a good filler, but contains little/no nutritional value!

Aquatic Plants

* Anacharis

* Duckweed

* Water Hyacinth

* Water Lettuce

* Water Lily

*Salmonela-To keep down the risk wash your hands after handling like you said, don't put them in your mouth and keep the water clean.
