Can my little guys eat strawberries if I cut them up small? Also could you give me more ideas on which fruit you guys recommend to feed them?
What's succesful with your turtles?

First things first....
What type of turtle/tortoise do you own? Im going to assume RES since 99% of the people on here have them? If its a different breed some can't have certain fruits because its bad for their health. If you let me know what you have I can better inform you of what fruits or veggies are the best for the breed.

to be honest, I'm not totally sure what he is i have put pics below.
I was told they were either Cooters or Florida Maps.
The bigger two guys are a much darker green than babs is, with totally different patterns all over. Don't know if these help but please et me know?

This is what Billy and Bob looks like

And the following 3 are of Babs

Try again, this is a pic of Babs

The other two (the ones you can see in the pics) Have yellow bellies. Bob has black spots on his, Billy doesn't.
Babs belly is kinda yellow-orange, again with black dots on. But she is a much brighter green than the others

Hope this helps us all more!!

I bought something similar to that, my turtles like it.........speaking of which got to go buy crickets to give them some more.

The one called Billy and Bob look like yellow belly silders. The one with the orange belly may be a Fl red belly cooter. There are several sub-species of maps here in Florida but there is no Florida Map, so someone is calling them something else.

You can shred some foods using a cheese grater. I do this with carrots.
