Those guys aren't ready for a lot of vegetables, they need animal protein (soft bugs like waxworms and small earthworms) at that age.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Seems late, I thought they hatched in august? They can take 70 to 120 days from when they are layed. I had actually given up on them. Then I saw one crawling on the ground near the nest. I dug the other one up from the nest.

That's good to see. A bunch of turtle eggs get ate by predators. They don't hide them well.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Paint there shells with fingernail polish, you will probably find them every year for many years, my great grandma painted one pink when we where kids and we found it in her garden eating lettuce every year for nearly a decade until she passed away.
