How long have you had him. I have four turtle and it took the one about 3weeks before he would eat anything. Two if my turtles are about the size of a dime and i feed them floating turtle logs but i break them into four small pieces so they are easier to handle

Yellow Belly Turtle Diet

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!

Stick to meat until the turtle matures, no plant matter or dog food*. Good foods are earthworms and liver dusted in bone meal. When the turtle gets a little larger, it can handle bait fishes. *Read the list of ingredients - - very little meat; mostly grains.

Its okay it will take a while but in the end it will eat. At the moment it is trying to suss out if the place is safe and then claim it if it takes over a month see a speciality store or vet

Keep in mind that most reptiles need access to sunlight. You might try putting them outside in a kiddie pool with a rock in the center with part of that rock shaded

Offer him some small earthworms.
Baby turtles LOVE them.

try feeding him some fruits and veggies, pellets, or even guppies. The guppies are good for him and they give him the exercise he needs. Try different things he maybe just picky. Also, he may not be eating because he's not comfortable in his new home just yet.
