i have baby tortoises in the past also. Mine eat a varieties of food such as bread( for pet), pet pellets (for tortoises and fish) and vegetables when they are bored with all the food i give them. I also give them some fruits for them to chew on. They have grown very big and strong and i have transferred them to my relatives's house who have a pond (so they can swim freely)

I belive that as long as there is water it will be Ok.

Good luck.

Do you feed the turtles when they are in water?
My friend has turtles and he feeds them only when they are swimming in the tank. They eat the pellets from underwater upward.

Maybe try feeding teh turtles with fresh vegetables. They maybe they like it.

Eventually they will get hungry and want to eat.
You can try twizers and put food in their mouth and see if they eat.

They are just stree , don't worry .When they are familar with the emvironment they will eat lol .

I also have a big tortoise. Last time i feed it eat vegetable but it keep playing in the water and make until the water very smelly and dirty, so i go to a shop and ask for a tortoise food and the person give it to me. So i when back and feed him and i think that is better so now i feed him until very big. So i think u should go to the shop and ask the ppl which kind of food is suitable for ur tortiose.

lols a baby tortoise! i had one last time too! awesome~ ok hmm...
yea just feed vegetables and pellets.
It would be a good idea to put the tank some where with a bit of sunlight cause they like to sun bathe? yea... and you could also put thoes big pebbles or rocks inside so that your tortoise can climb on them and sunbathe too! (: i don't remeber much le, but i hope it helps.
oh yes and for the water part. don't put so full. just like 3cm like that? if you can create different level of water than its perfect. like making some parts shallower than other parts. yea =\
