Picky Eater

[captjack74]

My 3 toed box turtle wont eat fruit (blueberry or strawberry) wont eat any lettuce-it is like he does not like any sort of fruit or vegetables.
wont eat any bag food moistened mazuri of any kind,
He likes boiled chicken and reptomin pellets moistened but only eats every 3 days
He ate can box turtle food 2x.
no mealworms
He seems to be getting a little thin in the neck.
He likes when things smell (like the fish smell)
suggestions?

Since he seems to like the fishy smell, chop up some greens and fruit into small pieces then drain off a can of tuna over the greens and fruit and mix it up good.

Omega One turtle pellets are fish based and have a strong smell. My turtles love them.
