when properly cared for. These turtles have unique personalities and
can easily learn to respond to their keeper. They are also very long-
lived animals. To keep a box turtle healthy it is very important to
provide it with proper box turtle food. Here’s an overview of a Box
Turtle food list.

Box Turtles are omnivorous in
the wild and eat a large
amount of insects and other
invertebrates as well as fruit
and some vegetable matter.
On alternative days they
should be offered animal
matter such as night crawlers,
slugs, snails, superworms
from the pet store, purina
trout chow and crickets.

Once a month feed them
the food sprinkled with a
vitamin preparation such
as Superpreen or
Reptovite.
Snails are a particularly
nutritious food favored by
most box turtles. However,
you must not offer snails
that may have come from
an area where snail bait
has been spread.
