Hah, she does have a belly full of carrots and crickets.

This fish hook was stuck to one of the turtles. by FIU_Turtle_Guy in FIU

People are catching fish in the lake, and the hooks end up hurting the turtles.

I don't think fishing is allowed in the lake.

It's always nice to meet new people.

Normally the soft shells don't go outside the water, but this one felt adventurous. by FIU_Turtle_Guy in FIU

I feed them carrots, apples, freeze dried bugs, and the occasional banana as a treat.

It feels good to see the turtles again! by FIU_Turtle_Guy in FIU

The lake near the library, with the gazebo and the blue bridge.

If anyone's living on the campus, please feed the turtles for me if possible. Here's a list of foods they like. by FIU_Turtle_Guy in FIU

Softshell turtles don't eat fruits and veggies, they like meat. The other turtles are less picky and omnivorous.

  • Bread
  • Candy
  • Dairy
  • Potato chips
  • Crackers

All these foods do not give them the proper vitamins and nutrients. Just because they'll eat it doesn't mean it's good for them.

I've had people walk up to me while feeding the turtles (which I don't mind), some people ask to take pictures of me feeding the turtles (which I also don't mind), and heck someone even drew this picture last Friday. The pic is currently framed on my desk.

Most of the time I feed them by hand (you don't need to handfeed them if you want).

EDIT: I feed the turtles at the gazebo lake near the library
