What do you feed a turtle that you found outside in your yard?

Ok I asked this question to give the answer lol

I've brought home many box turtles found on the country roads in Summer and one thing I've found that they absoulutely LOVE is tomatoes...

wanna laugh while your turtle eats? then cut a tomato in half and put it in the box juicy side up, if the turtle is anything like mine they'll bring their head up, twist, and dive into it AND will eat it from the inside out :O lol

Answergo to your local pet store they care special food for turtles such as turtle pellets, crickets,and dried shrimp.

COMMENT:

I want to comment on the person who gave the answers above about the tomatoes. IT WORKS! I found a turtle on the side of the road today. I find many on my drives and usually take them to one of my clients houses that has a reservoir with a beautiful forest behind her house with moss, flowing waterfalls and rocks; however, this turtle really got my attention today. He was so inquisitive and didn't hide in his shell like others. I let him look out the window as we were driving and you could see his eyes move like humans as though he was taking everything in as we passed by. Where I found him was in the middle of a busy road. I read many comments about samonella and people voicing their opinions about putting them back but he would have ended up dead. For now he is at my house with a beautiful downsized set up like my clients backyard till I decide if I'm taking him to her house. Till then he is munching away at my home grown tomatoes. I've also thrown in some fresh basil leaves and green pepper. We'll see what he thinks of that and I'll post later. Thanks for sharing about the tomatoes.
