That is terrible.
And yes, I hear crap like that all the time.
People always advise me...just throw some lettuce in the back yard, left over salad from dinner will work.
And notice it was always people who "used to have a turtle" who share their wealth of knowledge. Ask them how long in the enormous lifespan of a turtle or tortoise they were able to keep it alive. It is usually one of three answers.
1. It died.
2. It disappeared/escaped/dug out one day
3. Or a variation of "My brother/cousin (substitute any juvenile male here) did x, y, or z
to it..."
Very sad...
