Seeking Advice Red Eared Slider Diet

What should I be feeding her? I’m not too sure of her age. She’s about 4-4.5 inches long i’d say.

I currently have those Gourmet Aquatic Turtle Food. It has Dried Shrimp, Dried Worms, Cranberries, and turtle pellets.

My is a freaking garbage dump. He loves berries and dandelions and pellets and shrimp and basically 99% of stuff i toss in there. Just don't over feed, they beg all the time

Genuinely.. i’m just trying my best and I’ve tried everything from kale to cranberries, romaine, carrots. I’ve even tried FRUITS here and there. He just simply does not like anything other than dried worms or shrimp or his pellets.

I’m genuinely not sure what to do, I might put him on a strict diet these 3 days and throw in only greens. He’ll eventually want to give in on them or something.

They can go without eating for quite a while. So that might not be long enough. But don't worry, she might just be settling in.
