Assuming you mean GALS eggs yes most turts love them, they are a valuable source of protein and calcium.
Some turts take a while to get used to them, it took a few attempts before mine recognised them as food because they're used to floating food, but once they did there was no stopping them!
It's safer than feeding actual snails too as the eggs are less likely to have parasites, snails should ideally be bred specially which is easy enough.
