[QUOTE="Rick, post: 25797, member: 13"] The more a variety of food the better. Most baby turtles won't eat veggies but they usually start taking to them the older they get. If your turtle is over four years old she may want some. Try offering her some green leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, bok choy, etc etc. She may not eat it but eventually she will. Yeah those basking lights don't usually offer enough of the proper UV. Get a strip light with a reptisun bulb. If she's four inches the 20 long is probably ok but a lot of experts will tell ya you need something bigger. You will eventually for sure. Females get pretty big. Yours may be a male which means it will stay much smaller. [/QUOTE]
