geepers! That's a long list . . . One thing I noticed, not only does feeding them a soft diet promote overgrown beaks feeding them on a hard dish (i use clay base for flower pot) will help as well as feeding them whole foods. Some people crush everything together or chop it up fine . . . i just feed them the whole thing and let them tear at it. Going for a week without food is not a problem actually if it's during the winter or a summer hibernation period. My turtles hibernate during the hottest part of summer as well as in winter. All of my turtles are particularly fond of strawberries and crayfish (or shrimp). When I give them crickets, I dust them with calcium powder and let them go live so the turtles have to chase them down.
honestly, just use common sense and think about what and how these guys would eat in the wild . . . and they should be happy campers
