Question
I KNOW THAT TURTLES CARRY SALMONELLA AND SO DO TOMATOES SO CAN I FEED MY 2 THREE TOED BOX TURTLES TOMATOES WITH HARM DONE TO THEM? I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION I SEEN AT THE HERMIT CRAB DEODORIZING SPRAY (FOR SHELL) CAN I USE THAT ON MY TURTLES?

THANK YOU

Answer
Hello Jim,
Tomatoes are fine for your Turtle. There is no health risk. Just remember that variety is important. Feed many different healthy items so they don't get bored and get all the nutrients they need.

And no, the Hermit Crab spray should not be used on your turtle.

Good luck
