does it eat pellets? .what is the water temperature?. when was the last time it was checked to a vet?

When you say baby, how big is your RES? How long have you had your turtle, and how long has your turtle been acting like this?

When you say your turtle sleeps a lot, is it in the water or on the basking area?

What are the temps of the basking area and water?

Does the tank have a submersible heater in it? A UVB light and heat source?

What other foods have you been trying to feed your RES?
