Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

I'm guessing my baby RES is about 2 months old, I've had her for 1 month, coworker found her in her pool.
She's doing great, except she will not eat pellets. I've tried 3 different kinds. I don't know what to do or if I should even worry.
She'll eat dried meal worms & krill (which she gets a couple of every few days) & she loves various fruits & veggies (which I'll give every couple days).
I read on this site to soak the pellets in tuna juice -- but no luck. I'll skip a day of feeding before I offer the pellets, hoping she'll be hungry, but she acts like they're not even there.
What do I do!? :oops:
THANKS!

Try Omega One pellets. It is a fish ingredient based pellet. And it has a bright orange color. The color and fishy scent should be inticing to your turtle. Good luck, and keep offering pellets.
