Take her to the vet and get her diagnosed. My cat didn't do that and it turned up he had an absess on his neck. We saved him thank god. Check online for how long or how much you should feed her each day. It'd be the best choice for you and your turtle.

She needs to be seen by a vet. Her anorexia could be due to anything from a vitamin to calcium deficiency, to renal failure. She may need a shot of vitamin A, calcium and maybe, B, and L-O-T-S of sun-fresh UVB.

Basically making sure all of her environmental conditions are being met as far as enclosure size, heat, UVB, water, etc.

maybe she's bored of the food you are giving her, try giving her new food then maybe she'll like it =)
good luck
