So I have had my turtles for 3 months now, and they absolutely did not touch any veges I gave them, even when treated with tuna water. So I go and get anacharis just to have variety in the tank. The babies are munching on them like there is no tommorow. Is this ok or healthy for them or should I remove the plants?

Anacharis is VERY good for your babies. Its a great "starter veggie" and you could move on from there with other things.

If they are eating the anacharis, should I decrease the quantity of the pellets?

Nope. They get veggies in addition to their pellets. Lucky little turtles!

I am so happy to finally have them eat somting else besides pellets and boiled chicken. I almost gave up on the veges. Now to really get them to eat oher veges, that's going to be tricky......
