I didn't know you can do that. What do you feed your turtles, I have been told many things? I feed her salmon, chicken, fruit and vegetables.

Yeah the turtles eat some of the fish, but can't catch them all. When they're young feed them a high protein (not too high fat) diet, as they get older more & more veggies. I feed them commercial turtle food with vitamin D3 supplement since they don't get any sun, low fat lunch meats are great, and lettuce, they don't eat many veggies when they're young but it becomes a majority of their diet as they get older. Make sure you have a floating island the turtle can bask on and get totally dry, they love to bask and it helps prevent algae & shell rot eating away at their shells. Snails, worms, crickets and many other critters are great treats.
