>>So evcn if no salt is added, is pork O.K. or not?



I haven't been in on this but I'll say this:

Unless you're giving it as just a rare treat then no don't use it.

Meats that humans eat aren't suitable as turtle (or reptile) food because when wild turtles eat meat, they eat the whole thing. Organs, bones- parts of the dead animal that we wouldn't eat & they get a lot of nutrition from that.

Just a bite of meat like we eat doesn't have the nutrition in it that turtles need.

I rarely give my turtles any meat meant for human consumption because it doesn't do them any good.

I'll give them a bite of turkey on Thanksgiving and that's about it. The rest of the year they get turtle appropriate foods, a variety of live bugs, whole live fish in the case of the aquatics, and fresh fruits/veggies.

To me feeding meat is like feeding iceberg lettuce, it's a waste of space in their stomachs, wasting space that could be filled with something nutritious for them.

That's just MHO
