nightcrawlers and as a treat, "turtle sticks". LOL.
She would crunch them like little pretzel sticks.
Volde loves zucchini, tomatoes, and squash. I'll look for the sticks tomorrow. She was eating lettuce yesterday and squealed. It was hilarious.
Ours is a rescue turtle as well. She has bullet marks from kids shooting her with a bb gun. Another kid also wrote on her with a sharpie "eat more chicken" good grief.
She's quite spoiled. I call her my puppy in body armor
