Default How to take care of a wild turtle?

Alright, my friend found a little box turtle on the side of the road and decided to keep it as a pet, how would she go about taking care of it and making it a pet? What should she feed it?

Actually you should free it. Wild turtles can carry Salmonella bacteria, and it is illegal in some states to keep one as a pet.

Hi. My cousins have a wild turtle as well. go about as if it were not wild. Turtles can almost adapt to anything. Go to you local pet store and buy some food, a filter, and a glass aquarium of about two feet by one foot. and there you go you gota perfect place for aturtle. But be sure to put a rockofsome sort so the turtle can relax "on land"
