Turtles can eat bananas. In the wild, turtles love to munch on anything they can find; often they will feast upon things such as insects, fish, bananas, and strawberries in nature. However something important to keep in mind is that turtles should never have too much of one type of food, and should only be given fruit on rare occasions if not at all.
Fruit has a high amount of sugar, which could be harmful to the turtle if fed too frequently. The sugar content and acid, etc. in fruits can cause a turtle’s stomach to bloat up and cause pain, as well as diarrhea and a number of other health problems.
Some pet owners have found that only feeding their turtles bananas on rare occasions is the best method and that mixing it with a varied diet helps. Experts have suggested that bananas every now and then for a turtle can be a healthy choice.

November 25, 2016 at 8:42 amI have a picky Malaysian box. She will only eat fruit & night crawlers if on dry land. If she chooses to spend time in the water she will only eat turtle sticks. I’ve tried veggies, meal worms & crickets but she won’t have anything to do with them. Is that sufficient? I’ve had her for 9 years but she was full grown when I got her so not really sure how old she is.

October 16, 2019 at 2:44 amif some turtles/terrapins have been given a certain food over long and frequent amounts of time they develop a certain taste or become very fussy to other food, if introduced not a a young age , so the best thing to do is doing what you are doing as the turtle/terrapin doesn’t seem to be in any pain , when i first got my turtle i was so concerned about everything i read , but it’s a bit like humans we are all different and can stand and have different things , it depends on the personality and body of your turtle/terrapin not what one person says about what they have learnt about theirs
basically it’s fine if there is any problems go to the doctor
