try making a mix of both of those [ellets,and some dried shrimp and baby krill.make the mix roughly half pellets and half dried stuff.
one question-is the turtle captive born,or wild caught?if it's wc,i've always had to use brackish water to get them to eat.if it's cb,that should'nt matter.good luck!
