I always thought mud turtles were pretty much carnivores and insectivores etc. But Millie seems to be biting the leaves of plants in her tank.
I didn't think she'd eat plants, so I have pothos having in her tank, and a peace lily in a perforated container: roots below the water level, but leaves above. Some of the peace lily leaves dip into the water, and I'm finding divots the size of a turtle mouth in the leaves- AND PIECES OF LEAF floating in the water!
She appears to be biting off bits of the peace lily repeatedly, but not swallowing it??
Should I put different plants in there?
Should I start feeding her plants?
