What does Henry eat?
Henry lives on a diet of fresh vegetables and meat, such as shrimps. As a treat we give Henry live insects, not much of a treat if you ask me!
When Terrapins are born they are almost entirely carnivorous. As they age they eat less and less meat and eventually their diet with consist of 95% vegetables.

This species of Terrapin is native to the South Eastern States of the USA. They are commonly found in UK water but unfortunately they are a invasive species. This is bad for the natural environment because there will be more competition for food and shelter. It might also introduce a new predator for our indigenous species.
