Try something live---turtles usually don't refust earthworms or cut-up pieces of them.

if you had 2 sliders already, you should be know that it takes a while for your turtle to adjust to its new surroundings. during adjustment period, your new turtle will not eat. it took my 2 guys a whole week before they realized that i was the food giver.

my two res are fighters they never acted like the new one. They ate on the second day and swam around like crazy.
