Fly River Turtle - Feeding

[Chris Anderson]

Its April

AND

it just snow.. and still snowing as I speak...

Don't think danelion would grow any time soon

I guess living in Florida the last couple years has made me forget how cold it is still up further North. I lived in upstate NY for 5 years and decided I needed to get away from that for a while and here I am. Its amazing how quickly you get spoiled.

You can also quite easily grow dandilions in flower pots I have quite a few in my yard for my turts and igs

I give mine XO turtle sticks which are 32% Protein and my Pig nose aka FRT is been growing well.

Actualy too much protein will make them grow to fast wich can result in shell deformitys and other problems. Ad some plants already sited and your good to go

of course I do add some veggies. I give mines lots of fruits and mustard greens and some celery.

Avoid celery, too much oxalates, try water cress insted

Lets say If the shell is already deformed from being fed too much protien... and now you have changed its diet to mostly fruits and veggies, Would the shell ever be able to grow back to its normal shape again??

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but it will take a long time
