I have two Baby Water Turtles, and the one isn't eating. When I bought the Baby Water Turtles the one that wasn't eating was bigger than the one that was eating. But now the one that isn't eating is smaller than the one that is eating.I don't know what to do about the one turtle that isnt eating. If you think that you can help me, please give me an answer!! Thank you!!!!

Usually a fussy water turtle will eat raw popcorn shrimp or earthworms. If it still doesn't eat I would look for a vet that specializes in reptiles.

Put each turtle in a seperate tank, making sure the tanks are big, warmed, well lit, etc.
Boost the temps on the non-eater's tank by about 5 degrees and keep it scupulously clean. Keep the stresses around the hospital tank to a minimum and don't handle it if possible.
Using the site below, make sure you are giving good cares and offering top quality foods. Offer bloodworms to try to jump-start the appetite.
If it does not start to eat after about a week, consider a vet- it may be something more serious.

Seperate them for a little, and if that doesnt work, then call a vet, there could be something seriously wrong with it.

What are you feeding? Feed them separately. Try feeding worms they love them.
