🍽️ Noções Básicas da Dieta do 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.
