I have half of an overripe, mushy cantaloupe which is nearing the point of rotting. It is slimy and mushy and is defintely not something I would eat, but would it be safe to feed it to the box turtle? How far gone is too far when feeding overripe fruits to boxies? Can they eat fully rotting fruit with mold and all? If they eat carrion and poisonous mushrooms in the wild, why not rotting fruit? Thoughts?
Also, is there anyone who does feed their boxies carrion (i.e. roadkill) or poisonous mushrooms?
