Turtles eat just about anything and varying their diet is a good idea.

Carrots, Lettuce, Bell Peppers, processed meats, cooked chicken/beef/fish, feeder fish, bloodworms, krill, snails, etc...

Look at some of the posts in the Food and Nutrition Forum as well as looking at the lists on the site.

I wouldn't include processed meats as part of the diet. And the cooked chicken and fish (have never fed beef) should be a very occasional part of the diet.

How big is/are your turtle/s? As they get older, they need more vegetation in their diet. Dandelions, chicory, collards (sometimes) and aquatic plants are also good to include.

Definetly NO PROCESSED MEATS! Please check out the 'What to feed your RES' and 'What not to feed your RES' lists at in the Feeding and Nutrition section.

Buy more pellets?

Try different pellets? They should be the main part of your turt's diet.
