I had a pretty picky yellow-bellied slider (also semi-aquatic). I tried to always give her mainly turtle pellets, since they have all the vitamins a turtle needs. However, to get her eating, I\'d tempt her with little pieces of bread, freeze-dried krill, or goldfish flakes. Once she ate that, she usually went for the turtle food. I also hear that some turtles really like spinach. (By the way, be sure to feed her in the water; most semi-aquatics won\'t eat on land). Good luck!
