A land turtle has many ways to get food such as leaves, fruits, bugs ,and store bought foods. I have a Box turtle that comes to my house every day for a meal a meal thats his best friend shares with him who is a 2 year old dog.
Land turtles mainly eat plants, fruits, vegetables, and sometimes insects or small animals. They use their strong beaks to bite and tear off pieces of food, and their smaller front teeth to chew and swallow. They forage for food on the ground and use their keen sense of smell to locate potential meals.
Olive ridley sea turtles are mostly carnivorous. They eat invertebrates such as jellyfish, sea urchins, crustaceans, and shellfish. When no other food is available, they may eat filamentous algae.
