I was wondering if turtles could eat alfalfa pellets that I find in my hamster food... Its a silly question, yes, but it seems to be all veggies. If I shouldn't I'll understand. :D

There should be an ingredient list on the side of the package.

Looks like the calcium:phosphorus ratio is around 5:1, which is good. I don't know any other guidelines to judge it on, so they might be okay?
