Hello, My new is Hootie and I'm a Worm-Aholic.

It's been 1 minute since my last worm



and I just can't seem to stop eating them. My keeper gives me vegtables and fruit and I'll eat them if he leaves them in for a few days and doesn't give me any worms. But I really don't want to eat them I just want my worms!



Seriously, is it ok for my turtle to only be eating worms, he does on occasion eat the fruits and vegetables I offer but only if I don't offer him any worms. I calcium and viteman suplment the worms before feeding but because the worms are live most of it falls off from the struggle while eating. Hootie has come a really long way since I rescued him, here is a picture of how his shell looked the day I got him...



He has got allot more energy, his shell is recovering quite nicely and he is just a joy to have around. I just want to make sure that if the primary stable in his diet is worms and they are calcium and vitaman supplemented will that be enough to keep him healthy?
