What Do Painted Turtles Eat- A Brief Guide To Feeding The Painted Turtle
The painted turtle is a beautiful specimen of pet turtle. People with little to no experience with turtles may wonder what kind of environment to provide, which lighting is most suitable and what do painted turtles eat? Like many other types of turtles the painted turtle is an omnivore. Omnivores eat both plant and animal foods. At different points in the painted turtles life, their diet requirements will change as they grow.
When the painted turtles are juveniles they tend to be more carnivorous. This is logical as protein is essential for developement of strong muscles and early brain developement. Packing in excess protein when young is a turtles way of bulking up for their maturity to be more formidable animals.
Calcium
When captive as house pets turtles will need calcium supplements. Calcium is also an important part of what painted turtles eat as this is what gives them their strong durable shell. Once a turtles shell has weakened to the point of cracking open, its only a matter of time before infection kicks in. This usually leads to premature fatality.
You can buy calcium supplements at the pet store. The best supplement for painted turtles is a powder supplement that you "dust" their food with. Being a house pet your turtle will not have access to deposits, natural vegetation and other calcium sources in the wild. Calcium must be supplemented for good health.
Threres the broad overview. What do painted turtles eat? Theres a lot of room for personal preferences. Heres a list of the most common foods to feed the painted turtle:
Proteins:
-Minnows
-Guppies
-Snails
-Earth worms
-Crickets
-Blood worms
-Shrimp
-Dapnia
-Krill
-Snails
-Tadpoles
-Cooked Beef and Chicken
(small bits)
Fruits and Vegetables:
-Leafy Greens (Mustard, Collard, Dandelion)
-Carrots
-Green Beans
-Squash
-Sweet Potato
-Apples
-Bananas
-Kiwi
-Berries
Turtle Food
Pet stores sell pellet turtle and reptile foods. Most of these are fine to use as a staple for your turtles diet. It doesn't have to be the largest portion of food they get, just what they are fed in between the vegetables, fruit and protein. You may not have a constant supply of live proteins such as insects. When you run out, these foods will be there to fill in the gaps.
You do not need to feed your turtle all of these differnt foods in a month! As time goes on, try new things so your turtle has some variety in tastes, textures and for nutrition as well. The above list just gives examples of all the different types of foods that owners feed their painted turtles.
Hard foods, such as carrots should be cooked until soft and easier to digest. It is recommended that baby painted turtles be fed everydey while adults can feed every other day. Do not over feed your turtle as this leads to poor health and a weak immune sysytem.
Portions
A good rule of thumb on how much to feed your painted turtle is as much as it will eat in fifteen minutes. After a fifteen minute period, if your turtle continues to eat, take away the food (unless it is sick). By that point they have had enough for one meal. Another way to look at this is to feed them a hunk of food that is the roughly the size of its neck and head.
What Not to Feed Your Turtle
There are a few things to watch out for to avoid feeding your turltle something that will give it health problems. Not everything is alright for a turtle to eat.
Try to avoid feeding your painted turtle spinach. The pesticides and the nutrients in spinach is suspeceted for a string of intestinal track problems. This led to several turtle fatalities that went unnoticed by the owners. Leafy greens are great turtle snacks, just make sure there is no spinach. Turtles will eat spinach if you put it in front of them.
Also avoid ice berg lettuce. There is very little nutritional value in iceberg lettuce. If you feed this to your turtle it won't hurt them, but it won't do them any good either. Fill their diet with foods that serve a purpose and make their health and condition better. Ice berg lettuce is a waste of tummy space and money.
Feed at your Own Risk
Finally, a bit of a disclaimer on the above statement about feeding your turtle cooked chicken and beef. This is not an all the time meal. Once in a while this can be done with no side effects and makes a tasty turtle treat. If you constantly feed these things to your turtle it could have adverse effects on their health and their organs. A little dab will do, so offer supermarket meats no more than once a week if at all.
So to answer the question of what do painted turtles eat... a little bit of every thing. Some leafy greens and veggies, some proteins in the form of turtle pellets and/or insects and most fruits. The average adult is fed every other day, and for some every three days depending on the turtles size and age. Mix and match all these foods, but try to provide a balanced diet. Make sure in a week your painted turtle has had some protein, some vegetables and some fruit.

Are green peas a good food for herbivorous fishes?
I threw some frozen gp's in there and they were greedily accepted by my Rosy Red Minnows. How do gp's stack up to other veggies such as zuccini and lettuce in the way of nutrients. What else should be on the menu?
Peas have a lot of different nutrients. They're a good source of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous for bone growth, iron for blood, and other vitamins, minerals and amino acids which are used to build proteins. This gives a better list from the USDA food information http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/cgi-bin/list_nut_edit.pl
I always recommend a variety of any foods you give. This gives you r fish a better variety of nutrients, and more variety in *flavors* just like they would have if they were still in their natural environment. Zucchini, other squashes, cucumber, citrus slices, broccoli florets, leaf lettuces, and other veggies that you would eat will usually be eaten by fish, but you might need to freeze or blanch them to soften them so they're easier to pick apart. If you make sushi, you can give them a little of the seaweed wrappers too. And you can also put in some of the more edible aquatic plants like Egeria or Anacharis and the fish will munch the leaves. Rosy reds will also eat algae pellets, and spirulina flakes.
And don't limit veggies to just herbivores, omnivores should have some plant material in their diet too. Rosys are more of an omnivore, so you can give them goldfish flakes, bloodworms, mosquito larvae, fruit flies, and foods that have some fish meal or *meaty* content, they don't need a strictly herbivorous diet.
