Feeding and Nutrition :: another trick for feeding veggies

[shortt]

I haven't tried tuna water yet however I tried something else last night trying to get mine to eat some veggies. I think it would only work in a feeding tank or a shallow tank.

Rip/cut the veggies into the correct size then take your turtle pellets or sticks (so far sticks seem to work the easiest). I then ground a couple up into small pieces using my fingers like think the size of ground black pepper. Take that and sprinkle it on top of the veggies in the water. My turtle could smell the pellets/sticks and then started to mistakenly eat some veggies

too bad she spit most of it out but its a start
