Ever since I printed out that care sheet in this forum with the things to feed a turtle I have started to put more variety into the diets of the turtles. I only fed them pellets- and lettuce since that's the only green thing in my fridge until now. However one turtle is really hooked on the pellets and won't eat the lettuce. I try to coax him with a pellet and take it away really quick putting a piece of lettuce in it's place (same way I got my sister to eat pretzels ). Don't get me wrong he falls for it and eats the lettuce, but once he tastes it, if turtles can taste food, he spits it back out. So I make it up to him and make it up with pellets.
What do I do here? I don't want to deprive it of food until it eats lettuce since I feel pity for it after a while.
