Question
I have been researching on mud turtles and on some websites it says that they omnivors and on others it says that they are carnivors. I am confused and if i do get one i wouldn't want to feed it the wrong food.

Answer
Hi Jade, they do have commercial foods for them, you can offer worms you can offer greens and flaked foods. Id recommend feeding a diet that is fully balanced but not the same daily.
I like to take a PVC pipe, drill hp;es in it all the way down, then add worms to the pvc pipe that can escape the holes.
Then cap off each end and then he will anticipate a worm here and there and be sooo happy
