Turtles make great pets that require special care compared to conventional cats and dogs, including having access to sufficient food, a proper environment, and suitable tanks in which they can live comfortably.
Diets for pet turtles typically incorporate both animal products and non-toxic leafy green vegetables as part of their regular diets.

Turtle Flakes
Turtles in nature tend to be opportunistic feeders and will quickly devour fish or shrimp that have accidentally found their way into the water, in order to gain as quickly as possible the vital nutrients contained within these foods.
As a temporary solution, feeding turtles fish flakes or pellets is fine, however this could result in their bodies not receiving all of the essential vitamins and minerals they would get through a more balanced diet.
As part of their healthy diet, turtles require foods designed specifically for them. This means selecting high quality commercial turtle food containing proteins, vitamins and minerals essential to their wellbeing – especially younger turtles or babies that need higher amounts of protein in their diets.
