I just received two baby softshells for my birthday (hooray!) and the man at the store told me to feed them freeze dried bloodworms and they have been eating those daily. I also bought some reptomin, but they haven't touched it even though I knew they were hungry. I also read somewhere that live minnows were good to feed them too, so I bought 6 of those today and the turtles are scared of them. How and what new food items should I introduce to these babies? Any suggestions would be great, they seem to be finicky eaters.

Thanks.
