How Can I Convince A Mud Turtle To Eat Floating Food?

I found a mud turtle that someone had thrown in the trash. It is an adult female. She was in a card board box with sand . I have her since five days. Unfortunately she doesn't want to eat floating food. During the days I have her she is only eating raw chicken and minced beef that sinks to the bottom of the tank. How can I convince her to eat other healthier food, like pellets or some greens, that float ?

I got curious when I read your mud turtle eats chicken and minced beef. I've read that mud turtles are omnivores. How can you convince our turtle to eat floating food? Check out the links below and see which food floats. I think ampids float. Mud turtles make excellent pets. Hope this helps

thanks for the fast reply. I guess I didn't explain my problem properly.
The mud turtle DOES NOT LIKE floating food. She only likes stuff on the bottom of the aquarium. So what could I do to make her eat all those healthy foods she should eat, but that floats on top of the water? -:)
Does anybody feed their mud turtles outside the water??? or in very shallow water????
Thanks

Mud turtles depending the species are bottom feeders you can also feed them beefheart or frozen turtle foods which will sink after it defrost most petsmarts have this in the fish
