https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/7448/black-marsh-terrapin Hi all, a client of mine has just &#39;rescued&#39; a black marsh terrapin from her sister, who was only feeding it blood worms, hence as a 2 year-old it is as flat as a pancake! It is now eating King British Terrapin food pellets, but the ingredient list saysen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/32434?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 Feb 2011 21:06:17 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:cc772d86-1b02-44f4-9906-efdf30833af9Gillian Mostyn<p><a target='_blank' target="_blank" href="http://www.bristolzoo.org.uk/black-marsh-turtle">http://www.bristolzoo.org.uk/black-marsh-turtle</a></p> <p>Looks like it might be worth finding out exactly which species it is (apparently there are a few species called black marsh turtle) as some are endangered and CITES regulated.</p> <p>Most are carnivorous, so wouldn&#39;t be expected to eat any veggies.</p> <p>Nutrobal is no use for dusting in this case. It can be used within a cavity (such as within a pinkie) but this doesn&#39;t sound feasible if the new owner is squeamish.</p> <p>Without sounding like I&#39;m nagging too much, all reptiles need specialist care and good husbandry. Unless this new owner is putting some effort into ensuring these are correct, which is usually expensive, it may be best passed on to a specialist reptile rescue?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
