You might try breaking it into smaller pieces. Some turtles have a harder time with it than others. It might also take a little time for your turtle to get used to it. I didn't have any problems, but my turtles bite anything stinky that floats.
It that doesn't work, you can try dusting their food with calcium powder.
Best of luck!

Besides breaking it into smaller pieces, don`t forget to take off the hard backing (shell) first.
