Urgent Care :: i dont think my turtles have been themselfs

[ashleygamergirl]

They have no other symptoms?

If it's cold where you are now, it could be due to the season. My RES's appetite tends to change in the cooler months and he becomes fussier about what he'll eat.

ashley-girl -- They will get picky if you cater to their whims. There are some on this forum that will do all sorts of things to get them to eat. Mine will eat until they make themselves sick. I might suggest that you feed your turtle every other day and make sure that you do not over feed. When you reduce the food they become less picky. If you do reduce the food make sure you feed them with a balanced diet.

no other symptons really and yes it has been cold here and i know that they change how they eat sometimes when it gets cold but its been like this for about a month or so now. and i do feed them everyday they just dont eat it and they use to always be there waiting for food and now they just dont care when i feed them, they donnt eat it and it just sets there. do u think they are getting sick? or will they pick back up when it gets warm outside again?

what should i try feeding them?
i have been giving them pellets and romaine lettuce also tryed carrets
they have feeder fish in the tank for months and months now they ate them all but 4 and now i think those 4 are to big for them to eat or something they are the rosy red feeders but the last 4 are alot bigger now

what else should i try?

What's their water temperature? What's the basking temperature? Cool temperatures will make a turtle lethargic and cause him/her to lose his/her appetite.
