Not sure If I'm giving the best diet
Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 2:57 pmI Have three Red eared Sliders. They all are adults, and I don't know if this matters, but, one is male, the other two are my girls.
Every day I feed them red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, and turnip greens. Every three weeks I add kale and collards to the mix for a week. Sometimes I give them cantelope, blue berries, or strawberries , but no more than once or twice a month, and every other day they are fed pellets. after 15-20 minutes, I remove any leftover food ( which is VERY little ). I also add rosie reds to their aquarium every two weeks. Do you think my diet for them is really good for them? if not, please give me some pointers.
The proportions are:
veggies- 50-60% of a diet that includes the lettuces, about 50%-75% of all the greens,Turnips, about 25%, kale and collards make up the rest of the greens.
Fruits:10%-15%, Cantelope, and on occasion blue berries and strawberries.
Animal Protein-10%-15%- rosie reds
commercial- 10%-20% reptomin, wardleys
Sorry for the long post.
