Hello everyone, not to long ago a baby turtle was born in my pond (something that has never happened to me before) i took her inside to a little aquarium to take better care of her. However im having trouble giving her diferent types of food, she only accepts raw meat, ive tried with a variety of vegetables and fruits but nothing work, im trying to get her acostumed to eating turtle pellets like the ones i give to my other turtles so in the future i can release her in the pond again without the fear of her not eating anything, but its not working so far.
Any tips on how to make her eat diferent kinds of food?

What kind of foods are in the pond? They are very carnivorous when young, and anything that moves will get their attention. So I would first make sure it's well fed, then move to the pellets.

Is the yolk sac fully absorbed?
