Also an excellent way to provide additional calcium is to put a cuttlebone in the turtle tank. Leaves are edible and do not cause any harm to your red eared-slider. For example spinach contains oxalic acid and mealworms have a bad calciumphosphorus ratio. Adults eat so many plants they are considered herbivorous. First you have to find the turtles.
However in some pinch cases when you ran out of best food for red eared slider or you may be able to find a snack in your pantry that you think your turtle will love. Its fine for red eared sliders to eat grapes edamame green beans peas mint leaves pear mango nori moss plants and vegetables. This is because they eat almost anything you offer them but it doesnt mean it is good for them. I have a red-eared slider thats about 2 inches big he got the biggest appetite Ive ever seen in a turtle. Although red-eared sliders can eat many different things there are a few foods that can be very damaging to their health.
