u have to make sure that the pellets are appropriate for turtles. anyways they usually don't eat for the first couple of weeks or so bcz they are scared. try to grab their attention by smelly food like cooked chicken, tuna fish, cooked turkey...i personally suggest the tuna, 95% guaranteed Wink

good luck

Also......might want to keep a small leaf of lettuce (not iceburg) so that when your aren't around they have something to snack on when your not looking! You have to realize that while you are no harm too them they look at you and your a giant that could threat them. When your not around they might eat a little.
