I fed some lettuce to Henrietta once but she never ate it. I'll pick up some feeder gold fish occasionally for her. What about crickets?
Wow!! That is cool!!
Sliders are omnivores and will pretty much each anything ... earthworms, crickets, waxworms, silkworms, aquatic snails, blood worms, daphnia, shrimp, krill, mealworms ... insects! Sometimes if the food is too big then they won't eat it.
I know that the veggies and stuff that is ok are your leafy greens like collard, mustard and dandelion greens, kale. Head (iceberg) lettuce should never be feed as it contains very little nutrition, but dark green leaf lettuces (e.g romaine) can be feed sparingly. Sometimes they will even eat chopped up carrots!
