New Turtle Pet
Okay, so I basically got a turtle yesterday [I don't know it's gender so it's pretty much genderless for now]
Anywhos, I have a problem with him/her not eating. It's a red slider and it's still really tiny [maybe 3-4 inches?] & I got the Zilla food pellet thing for him/her. And I've put the food in the container and on the platform thing floating on top of the water and he/she still isn't eating. What can I do? What should I give? Ahh! Is my turtle okay or not...? Help please?

Hey there, my turtle did the same thing to me, turns out all he wanted were some guppies :)
so now i change his eating habits, basically every other day he gets fish/pellets and sometimes i'll give him green foods.
but even after changing the food and he/she doesn't eat then they're getting used to the environment first or just being plain stubborn lol.
Either way good luck!

maybe its just a little confused, and distressed because you did get it yesterday. try some real food from the pet store also, because pellets aren't exacly the most luxorious food. hope i helped :0 ~#'

I have two yellow belly sliding turtles and i have had them for 5 years now. your turtle wants meat! like maybe some sliced turkey or ham. If you go to petsmart in there turtle section there are all sorts of foods they useally eat. like the mini shrimp ect.
let me know if you need anymore help. shes fine dont worry about the girl under me.

Okay. i deffinetely think your turtle is sick.
Maybe you should take it to the vet to see whats wrong.
