If you want your turtle, especially when s/he's bigger, to get Vitamin A safely, offer foods that are high in beta carotene (pumpkin, dandelions, carrots, squash, foods of that nature), which your turtle can convert to Vit A as needed. Hatchlings might not be interested in these foods at first, but it never hurts to offer them (in pieces that can be easily eaten). A reputable pellet will also have Vit. A added.
