The type of turtle i have is a red eared slider

I dont onow what wrong with it. I havent seen it eat in 3 days and everytime i try to feed it, it smells the food and walk away like its full or something. How is it possibly full if it hasnt eaten in 3 days. Its not sick or anything because it walks around as if nothing is wrong with it and it still has tons of energy because it still swims fast


Are you an artist and want to make a decent amount of TC? Check out this thread.
A red eared slider is semiaquatic. Those types of turtles like a temperature between 75 to 78 degrees fahrenheit (23 to 25 celsius). I suppose you have water for it to swim in. If you dont then get it, if you do, then make sure it's not too cold for it. Having a cold water makes it sick, so it wont eat.

I'm not realy sure about the red eared's diet, but I think you could try guppies, mostly goldfish. So you could drop about 15 to 20 feeder guppies (preferably goldfish), that's one of the slider's best meal.

And get a veteran to help, dont just take our words for it.

Being sick doesn't mean it will sneeze. There are a lot of diseases that dont include symptoms.

Go get a veteran's help, that's the best way.

Boy, you are a genius.

Feed him some cockroaches etc. Worked for me.
What kind of food do you feed it?
I've had mine 8+ years and it eats turtle pellets and fish mostly.
Pellets for nutrients and fish for general protein/ natural turtle diet.

Give it some greens sometimes too, maybe fruit. Mine loves strawberries as a treat.
