PLZ HELP ME!!! DX

Alright, I know this has nothing to do with games.. or emulation.. or roms... or electronics..
But I really do need help.
Okay, so my friend is telling me, she can catch me a turtle up by her trailer. I can take care of the turtle and what not.. Like I can have it.
But I just need to know, what turtles eat, uhh.. I don't have a cage or anything for it, so I have to settle with a very large container.. .So how much water should I put in the container?
And what, should go into the container?
What should I feed the turtle?
Give me all the info you got!!
And how long can turtles last out of water? and without food? Do turtles need to drink water too?

Replying to #1

All creatures need water to live.But I remember catching turtles when I was a kid, and we would feed them stuff like Lettuce and various bugs. What they eat varies based on what type of turtle it is.

LOL I still catch turtles, manly rescue them out of the road. unless its one of those snappers I just try my best to coax them across the road as they are mean as hell, but still fun watching them get all defensive and hiss and leap about.
