ok well i thought peanut was hungry cause i saw him trying to eat the sand in the tank so i took him out and put him/her in another container and didnt seem to care about it so i dipped it in tuna water and was kinda curious but still didnt eat it. I would like peanut to get a wide veriety of foods because i have always given my turtles just pellets and fish

Peanuts a baby right? Babies usually eat more protein than veggies. It's never to young to introduce them to veggies though. Blueberries should be given only once a week or so if you're enticing shedding. To much fruit is not good for them because of the high sugar content.
