🍽️ Nozioni di Base sulla Dieta di Tartaruga

Leafy Greens

Collard, mustard, and dandelion greens should be the staple. Rotate varieties daily.

Calcium Supplementation

Dust food with calcium powder at every feeding. Essential for shell and bone health.

Protein Sources

Aquatic turtles need protein (shrimp, worms, pellets). Tortoises need very little protein.

UVB Lighting

UVB light is required to metabolize calcium. Without it, dietary calcium is wasted.

Domande Frequenti

What vegetables can turtles eat?▼

Dark leafy greens are the staple—collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens. Avoid iceberg lettuce (no nutrition) and spinach in large amounts (blocks calcium absorption).

Yes—calcium is essential for shell health. Dust food with calcium powder and provide UVB lighting so they can metabolize it. Without calcium, turtles develop metabolic bone disease.

Can turtles eat fruit?▼

Small amounts of berries, melon, and banana as rare treats. Avoid citrus (too acidic) and avocado (toxic). Fruit should be less than 10% of diet.
