Do water turtles crawl away, and do you have to keep them in cages or

Our turtle walks around a lot. We have a fenced yard that he cannot escape
from. He always returns to the pond after a walkabout.

I don't know much about turtles, but I did find in my brief
skimming that some turtles need to eat vegetables, and in the wild
they often consume duckweed.

Red-eared sliders are typically carnivorous as youth and eat more greens as
they age.

Just like us. :-)
