You have to wait them out. Turtles can go months without eating. Keep offering the veggies, eventually they will eat it.





All turtles grow differently, unfortunately the only way to tell age accurately is to know their hatch date.
Reply:Mix vegetables with it they will end up eating it.
Reply:You might try slitting the meat and putting vegetable matter inside it or buying some liver and using the liquid in the package to soak the vegetables you want to feed the turtles. The other possibility is to wait. Young turtles tend to be much more carnivorous than their elders. In time, they will show more interest in romaine and other greens.





My guess (and that is all that it is) is that your turtles are two years old.
Reply:just give him turtle food
Reply:turtles that eat meat?maybe I don't want 1 for a pet...
