General Care Discussion :: Monday not eating like she should

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Yeah, she is probably just getting used to you and her surroundings. Brooks loves anchoris, but she didn't like any type of vegetable, plant when she was younger. She usually only ate her pellets when she was little with a few of the sun dried shrimp as a treat, I also gave her ham as a treat. A lot of people recommend soaking your pellets in tuna juice to draw the RES to them, maybe you could try that :? My Brooksie used to eat the ReptoMin and then she wouldn't eat them anymore, I just recently got her back of them and she prefers the Wardley which she wouldn't touch as a juvenile. I suggest maybe trying another kind and rotating?!
