I don't know why she just won't eat green so I give her roman lettuce she like that but I don't under stand why she does not eat green s

It would help to know what type of box turtle she is. But for baby boxies I used to mash up moistened reptomin and cover the greens in that to get them to eat them.

I know she's not. But you could still try it.

Why would it make the different on what type she is ?

a couple of the box turtles tend to be more carnivorous than the rest and would resist the greens more. The gulf coast box turtle and the ornates are like that.
