Just a note: watch the spinach. It's known to be a calcium binder in humans, so it may counteract any calcium you're putting into the diet of your turtles.
 
I have two DBT's, I feed them Mazuri, reptomin, shrimp, and krill. Their staple diet is Mazuri and Reptomin, the shrimp and krill is more of a once a week treat. Something else you may want to look into as they are VERY messy eaters. They crush their food so a lot of food just goes to the bottom as wastes. I feed mine out of the tank, which helps a lot with water quality.

My DBT's are on a water schedule change, so I feed them in their tank for now. They get water change every other day 50%- then once a month they get a 100% water change/scrub.

During the water changes, they have free roam of the bathroom where I have basking lights placed so they can completely dry out.

Here are pics from yesterdays 100% wc.

Craigslist.

The male cost me $40, but that was for the supplies. I had the option to just take the turtle.

Same with the Female. I drove over an hour for her, so after everything, I spent $80- again, with supplies. (gas and tolls as well)

I always like to have extra supplies on hand just in case.
