Insects
Most aquatic turtles are omnivorous and require a diet consisting of animal proteins and vegetables. Although you may be tempted to feed your turtle insects from your backyard, this food source often lacks key vitamins needed for good health and should not serve as the sole basis of its diet. Instead, try providing your aquatic turtle with crickets, worms, or other insects specifically bred for reptiles from a pet store as an alternative source.
