The only vegetable matter I can get my turtle to eat is hornwort, a water plant, or the turtle jello shots. There's a recipe on the forum for them.

Try getting some aquatic plants. There are a few different kinds that the turtles like to munch on. Just stick them on the bottom of the tank (they can float to) and watch them be attacked, and only staulks will remain. I have to buy new plants every time I'm at the pet store because my turts eat so much, it's their main veggie food.

That sounds expensive, Spike. You can probably get water plants for a lot cheaper at your local nursery (that's where I get my hornwort). They have a big outdoor pond and I just scoop it out.
