:D They ate the lettuce!!!! I have been trying for a long time now and nothing was working every one said tuna it didn’t work. Today I tried putting it in the pellet container and shook it around it was full of powder then they ate it! I am so happy :D hope I don’t have to do this every time. :)

Oh good for you! I took a looong time for my turtle to eat lettuce, i tried all the tricks but he wasn't having any part of it. I kept putting it in everyday and one miraculous day, he ate the whole thing, and he's been eating it ever since. I'm sure you won't have to do the pellet powder routine forever, probably just for a few days (hopefully). They're gonna be lettuce munching machines in no time :D
