Hey Yáll!
We have 2 box turtles. I am working on their outdoor habitat right now. I have collected dandelion leaves, clover leaves and blossoms, various fruits and veggies from our kitchen (I always Google b4 feeding anything to the boxies). So far, the only thing they have eaten is worms,millipedes, and slugs. Mostly slugs because they are in abundance around here.
We have tried hiding the slugs in the greens, but the silly rascals are wise to those tricks and use their lil feet and scrape any leaf off the slug and any stray leaf that gets into their mouth!
*how do we get them to eat a more balanced diet?
*what else besides slugs can we feed them?
*mealworms? Super worms?
*what can we plant in the habitat for the turtles to eat?
(Provided we can get them to eat something other than slugs)
