More advice from Julie...

The turtle I just got eats hard-boiled egg; you could try that too. What, if anything, have your turtles eaten? Let's see what they're doing and we'll go from there. The reason I keep them is to raise them until their shells are big and hard enough to withstand attacks from mice, shrews and chipmunks. It can be a 2-4 year commitment depending on the diet. Repto-Min sticks make them grow like mad, which is what you want, and get them the calcium they need so their shells are nice and hard. Feel free to ask questions. Be aware that they should be winding down to hibernation now. Do you have a COLD spot in your basement where they can overwinter?
