So, I have 2 RES turtles, I've been taking care of them for a few months, but neither of them ever get CLOSE to the veggies. I've tried every vegetable that people say are good for them, but still nothing. Can anybody help? Thank you.

Reduce the amount of pellets they get. Also try using a veggie clip.

So far, I've seen one of my turtles sometimes eating the veggies I give them, but i still haven't got a veggie clip yet :p Hope I'll see them eating more!

Romaine Lettuce
EDIT: I got the veggie clip, but I need to know, how do I set it up?

Just clip a leaf to it, keep the clip/suction cup above the water (about 1/2").

Do you recommend any specific brand of veggie clip? Did some research and found quite a few with bad reviews. Thanks.

Anything with a lot of reviews will have a few bad ones. I've been using one like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Two-Little-Fishi ... B0006JM0KSThey should cost around $2-3
