I have a box turtle who I’m trying to ensure has a varied diet. Mama (his name) used to eat earth worms and sometimes meal worms. I’ve since expanded his diet to tobacco hornworms (only occasionally) and crickets. But now Mama only wants meal worms and sometimes crickets. He’s about 2 years old so he’s got a little boy mouth so I know that he needs little food and the hornworms get big quickly but he doesn’t even try to tear them up anymore. Is this okay?
I’m going to separate some adult meal worms and try feeding him some pupae bc I know the exoskeleton of the meal worms isnt too good for them. Is there anything else I should try?
edit: I also give him mustard greens but he personally couldn’t care less about them :/
