If my turtle hasn't eaten anything I would be worried. Why don't you try to give it something new and if that doesn't work take the poor guy to the vet.
one solution well if you check the temp of your house then you might find that it is to cold for him and he is on the boarder of hibernation and not so he is not eating in preparation of hibernation so all he needs is a warmer habitat
i agree with her they might not be eating if it is to cold and also they might not be eating because they do not feel safe where you feed them they like to feel safe. and i also might think they are not eating because if you found your turtle in a certain spot and moved them in another spot that could be a problem.........
Yes how indeed? I had the same problem with my turtle but after talking to my neighbor who is a veterinarian, she said like humans turtles have taste buds and like certain tastes in food. She said i had to experiment with different foods, and see which she/he likes/ and that to increase her/him eating to put her/him in a warm situation like warm water for or a worm room depending on if its aquatic or a land turtle. so I hope this helps you guys thank you =)
a turtle has a VERy low metabolism, so therefore they can go for up to 2 wks without eating anything. if your turtle has grass in his cage/pen he may be eating without you knowing it. my turtle will almost ALWAYS eat worms, so if your turtle isn't eating, go find some knight crawlers & I'm sure he'll be in Turtle Heaven :D
You have to take it to the vet, or you can try lettuce,carott,pedals and shrimp. you must buy the aquasafe for turtles, it is ffor completing formula and it works in seconds, it helps for an infection. you must put it when the turtle is not in the cage.
Do you have a heat lamp for the turtle? See the Related Question below.
If it's a baby, it will be EXTREMELY hungry the next day. Older turtles will survive not eating for one day a bit better than a baby will. But both can survive not eating for one day.
Try feeding it different foods. If it is acting strangely in other ways, take him to a veterinarian.
