It depends on what type of turtle it is. At young ages though most turtles are mainly carnivorous, so turtle food brands like Wardleys or ReptoMin are often suggested. Remember though when feeding that large amounts of protein causes shell deformation and internal organ stress (and in severe cases failure). A good guide to avoiding this problem is only feeding the turtle how much would fit inside the head if it was hollow once daily until around 6 months of age, and then every other day after that.

A good site to tell you the individual turtle species needs and care requirements is Austins Turtle Page.
