Turtles will eat anything. Mine have gotten mealworms occasionaly, I usually bought them for other reptiles and the turtles got the leftovers. They aren't that great of a staple, but if you wanted them as a treat your turtles will love them.

Sure no problem. They make great treats for them. I feed superworms to turtles I am rehabbing that are not really interested in eating. Most every time it seems to get them stimulated to eat and they try other things after that. Crickets are good to feed too.
