A very dear friend of mine and her 13 year old son are very excited because for the past 2 years they have been adopted by a wild box turtle: a beautiful Eastern intergrade. They have even named her Aphrodite. My dilemma is that the whole reason the turtle comes to their house is because she loves to eat their cat's dried cat food. The turtle comes by more and more often, and today had crawled all the way up into the cat's dish to pig out on dried kibble. The cat just sits and stares. My dilemma is this: I know cat food is not a suitable diet for any box turtle, and this one is relying on it more and more. Should I explain this to my friend and suggest she put the food up out of reach for the turtle? My friend is such a great animal lover that she has always been vegetarian, and would want to do what's best for the turtle. If they put the food out of teach the turtle will almost certainly quit coming to their house, which they would feel very bad about. Thoughts???
