Question
Hi, i have a small palm size box turtle that my cousin found on the highway... what should i feed it??

Answer
You should not feed it. You should return it to where your cousin found it, well off the road. This is a wild animal that is needed in the wild. I am a wildlife rescuer, so you are asking the wrong person about making a wild turtle a pet, when there is no reason to steal it from the wild and make it captive, especially considering you don't know step number one about them.
