My red-eared slider eats shrimp, worms, pellets. Is that too much protein?

Question

What diet would you recommend I feed my red eared slider turtles? I feed them shrimp, meal worms, and pellets 3 times a day. Is that too much protein for them?

Juvenile sliders should be fed daily. Feed an amount equal to the size of his head or as much as he will eat in 10-15 minutes. Adult sliders can be fed every other day or even every third day. The same general guidelines stated above can be applied to feeding adults. Adult sliders are more herbivorous than juvenile, so you should feed more fresh chopped greens and vegetables than prey items. You can offer greens to juvenile sliders as well. You can vary the diets you have pictures to keep him interested in different foods.
