Our baby(yearling)Squirt, is a picky eater. He loves worms but that's about it. He hates Reptomin and spits it out like its disgusting. I've also tried frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms. He doesn't seem to care for fruit or veggies or lettuce. He will eat a bit of fresh fish, sometimes.

What might excite his turtley-taste buds? I have a few worms saved up. Squirt also hates worms bought at the local Bait Shop, he knows, you can't trick him.

I'd appreciate any ideas and I'd like to hear what your turtles like. Thanks!
