First, please do not ever return your turtle to the wild. It is not only hard on the turtle, it is a good way to introduce diseases to wild populations. It is also illegal in many places. If there comes a time when you can no longer take care of your turtle, please find someone else who will adopt him.

Second, just be patient. It takes animals a while to adjust to new food sources. He will get the idea eventually.
