Thank youYes, definitely try to feed him other food items... Just don't be too surprised if he isn't keen on eating any of them. Box turtles can be notoriously picky, devouring an item one week and refusing to eat it the next. I have better luck trying to get my juvenile to expand her culinary horizons during the spring.
If Speedy eats romaine reliably, you can gradually mix other items into it. You can even soften (by soaking) commercial turtle or tortoise food pellets and smear it on the romaine.
