What and how have you been trying?

[KristiRES]

Lecutte carot apple etc

[steve]

Do you just drop in into the tank? Have you tried shredding the carrot into small pieces? Can you try to find something called a veggie clip from a local pet store? It's a plastic clip with a suction cup, usually found in the aquarium section.

Here in my country. They keep res in a 20gl tank like 30 res no water heater no uv light and they give the evry singel day krill so they dont know nothing about turtles ther is only one vet that takes care of turtle but he isin an aeroport area and it is to far

[steve]

You don't need to find a vet if you want your turtle to eat veggies. However, it's a good idea to know the vets in your area... maybe you can try to find a local herp/reptile group for support?

[KristiRES]

herp/reptile group ther is nothing like this in albani
if you sin the map you will see a litel point called albania

All i can recomend is offer them NOTHING but veggies, mainly lettuce. they will eat it rather then starve sooner or later.

I have worked with some Albanians before, so I know where your country is

Your country does have reptiles, maybe you should start a group. Even if it's just online, a collection of useful information and links can help others. Feel free to use any information here.

If you don't have, or can't find a veggie clip, try using a magnetic tank cleaner. It does exactly the same thing.

@halfshell nice. or a plain suction cup for a third option. although the magnets and veggie clips work fine.

[steve]

Pretty good idea! I don't think I would have thought of it

[halfshell]

The nice thing about the tank cleaner, you can move it around the tank without having to get your hand/arm wet. My guy likes to eat near the bottom, so it's convenient.

What model are you using? Would you recommend it?
