How To Feed Bananas To Turtles

Turtles are wonderful animals that can be taken in as pets. These animals are not as commonly domesticated as other aquatic animals, including fish and toads. But turtles possess qualities or traits that may interest you.

One of the things you should know about keeping turtles as a pet is they are omnivores. Their diet should comprise nutrients coming from both meat (animal-based) and plants (plant-based).

When it comes to serving turtles plant-based food items, the majority of the diet should comprise fresh veggies instead of fruits like bananas. Vegetables offer more nutrients than fruits. In addition, bananas are fruits that can become too sweet for turtles. But you may offer bananas to turtles as a treat. How can you give this fruit to them?

• Chop the bananas and mix them with other less tasty vegetables.

• You may also give the entire banana to the turtles (yes, including the peels).
