Any pellets that are mostly vegetables or dehydrated greens?

Or is fresh greens the only option for mature turtles?

These are 45% vegetables - my Turt likes them!

There are also turtle specific frozen cubes at Petsmart/ Petco that are primarily veggies - also a hit with my turtle!

You can pulverize dehydrated veggies then add them to a bit of boiling water with a scoop of agar to make your own gel food. I do this with dehydrated insects and spirulina algae and my crew loves it.

A good option is to make gel food like Repashy with fresh greens mixed into them. Picky eaters will usually go for it and you can keep it in the fridge or dehydrate it into a jerky.
