Whatever they can get. In captivity, you can nurture adult turtles dark green leafy vegetables for about partially of their diet. Juveniles need more protein, though.

They NEED calcium and protein they get it from the fish meat and the fish bones. Drop 20 or so feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows in the tank and see them disappear in a few days! The more they eat the healthier the turtle. When I get these two 36 yrs ago all we had in subsidise then were goldfish to feed so after 36 yrs and still going strong. They can devour goldfish!
This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also!
TOSS in a bird cuttle bone within the water for calcium that will promote better shell growth, it will dissolve real slow and if they devour it that’s fine!!
They can have garden worms, meal worms, snails, crickets, flies, crayfish small frogs, slugs, tadpoles dragon flies and anything that moves, but only as a treat.
They obligation leafy greens Romaine, Butter lettuce. (Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any other leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.
They love grapes and strawberries and squash.
