Not all turtles can eat all types of fruit. Check if the fruit is safe for your specific type of turtle.
Fruit should only be a small part of a turtle’s diet because it’s high in sugar.
Offer a variety of fruits to provide different vitamins and minerals.
Cut fruit into small, manageable pieces to prevent choking.
Generally, avoid citrus fruits as they can be too acidic for turtles.
Feed fruit only occasionally; it should not be a daily food item.
Always wash fruit thoroughly to remove pesticides and chemicals.
Remove any uneaten fruit after a few hours to prevent it from rotting in the tank.
Watch for any changes in your turtle’s health or behavior after eating fruit. If you notice anything unusual, consult a vet.
