Red ears are omnivarous  they eat both vegetables and fish do not feed raw chicken and always wash your hands after handling them because of salmonella poison they are prone to have it

What kind of turtle do u have? That greatly depends on what u feed it. I have a baby snapper and he is a water turtle. He eats only meat. I feed him when ever he acts hungry. About 3 times a day. He eats turtle food and raw meat. But I have had box turtles who eat only veggies. They don't eat as much and it depends on the weather or the temp of their surroundings. I'm not sure but I think over 70 degrees they eat a lot but under 70 degrees they hardly eat at all and it is all veggies. Lettuce, clover, just about anything out of the yard.
