Part of owning a pet Wood turtle is keeping him clean, healthy and happy and that includes understanding what type of food and treats your turtle will eat. Talk to your vet to learn about appropriate turtle feeds as well as appropriate snacks or treats for turtles. In addition, you should also ask how often you should feed your turtle and how much you should give him at each feeding. Your vet can help you put together a feeding routine for your Wood turtle. Typically, young turtles require a diet containing up to 40% protein. Adult turtles need to feed primarily on vegetation. Adult turtles only require around 10% to 20% protein in their diets. You should be able to find appropriate turtle food at the pet store where you purchased your turtle. Turtle safe veggies or fruits can be found at the market.
