i have a seriously carivorous eastern boxie."nanners" (what,she REALLY liked banana pieces as a little one) is more of an apex predator than any turtle i've ever had,including snappers.if she sees or smells a fuzzy mouse when i'm feeding the snakes,she goes into overdrive,pacing her enclosure like crazy,making weird grunting sounds.once or twice a month,one of the snakes won't eat,and i give her the fuzzy.total brutality,she is all over it,like white on rice.she's cb '06,maybe a hair over 4" straight shell length,and eats everything,just not with the same zeal as a mouse.i'm careful not to give her too much protein,so she only gets 2 fuzzies a month,max.coolest turtle ever.
