Now that I've discovered that my boxies really like sushi, I have a delicate question to throw out there.
Box turtles eat carrion -- nice, aged, stinky stuff. OK, I know it's part of the circle of life to feed smaller critters to our pets..... But my intellect is at war with my heart.

- Does it sound weird to euthanize a "feeder-type" fish, then keep it in a baggie for a couple of days before feeding it to my turtles?
- Would euthanizing with clove oil be an OK way to go out for the "sushi"? Don't know what effect the clove oil would have on the turtles [but will try to Google that], but I'd rinse the fish well to remove any external oil residue.
