Most common reason- cold water. Warm teh water up to about 75-80F

Because you are not keeping or feeding them correctly.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but you gave absolutely no background info. Perhaps you were expecting a clairvoyant to answer?
You should read up on basic turtle care.

have they been eating and recently stopped? what kind of turtles are they? i have a red-earred slider. and they hibernate in the winter and they do not eat. ive had him for a year. and last year i thought the same thing. now when hes not eating for a few months at a time. i dont worry its completly normal.

Do you have proper light bulbs that have UVA and UVB rays for them? Sometimes not getting enough of that will cause them to loose appetite. Also try a variety of foods and if that doesn't work take them to the vet. :-)

Well first of all what are you trying to feed them and how long have you had them. Need a little more info than that. Maybe they're sick
