Most hatchlings do eat more protein than veggies.. so that's not unusual. How many pellets are you feeding him? You could offer the veggies along with some pellets and see what happens :)

My turtles always have some veggies and lettuce thrown in their tank and if they get hungry enough, they'll munch on that...and since they don't get pellets more then once a day they're always hungry :)
