Thanks, all. You were kinder than those on that other forum.

I was giving it frozen (then thawed) collards. But the local grocery store stopped selling them. Any ideas what other frozen produce I could get and thaw and give the the critter?

Harding says to skip vita-shell - seems it does nothing for the turtle health, and just make it look "nicer".

I will probably keep it.
