Hi Again,
I have had my 10 month old eastern box turtle for 4 months and haven't been able to get him to eat veggies. I've tried kale, romaine lettuce, red leaf lettuce, squash, zucchini, carrots and many more several times a week with no luck. He does however eat his bugs, reptomin and fruits. I've tried cutting his veggies up and mixing them with his favorite foods but he either spits the veggies out or separates them. I'm wondering if he is old enough to eat veggies because I read somewhere that young box turtles are carnivorous. If he is in fact old enough, are there any other strategies to get him to eat his greens? I've included a picture comparing him to a toonie for size reference.
Thanks,
Ben
