I have 2 red-eared-sliders, that are about a year or two old. they are sister and brother. The boy is 3 1/2 in. and the girl is 4 in.

I have looked everywhere for good things to feed them, and their staple food item is raw hamburger, although I give them other things as well, and they eat waterplants on their own. they are in good condition, (this is not my first time).

I want to spice up their diet, and I wonder if anyone has some suggestions.

* Feeder Items: live feeder fish (guppies, goldfish, minnows), earthworms, crickets, waxworms, earthworms, silkworms, aquatic snails, blood worms, daphnia, shrimp, krill, mealworms. For very small turtles, prey may have to be cut into smaller pieces. Larger turtles can be offered larger items including pinkie mice and tadpoles.
* Other animal protein: cooked chicken, lean beef, beef heart.
* Leafy greens: collard, mustard and dandelion greens, kale, bok choy. Head (iceberg) lettuce should never be feed as it contains very little nutrition, but leaf lettuces (butter, romaine) can be feed sparingly
* Other vegetables: carrots (tops are fine too), squash and green beans.
* Fresh fruits: bananas, berries, apples, melon, tomatoes.
