My turtle eats tank gravel. Could she have a mineral deficiency?

Question

Why is she eating gravel from the bottom of her tank? I have already fed her and I feed her everyday 2 times a day.

Hello, Harley's diet may be deficient in some sort of mineral. Blandings turtles are omnivorous and eat insects, berries, fish, crayfish, etc... you ensure she is getting a variety of these kinds of feed. Hope this helps.
