Jk-ja -- You are short on information. What is the size of your turtle, what is the size of your tank, what is the size of your filter/pump GPH, How large is you water heater, what size in your heating light and uvb light?? What temperature is the water and basking area? What are the circumstances around you turtle not eating? A photo would be helpful.

How long have you had your turtle? How big is he? If you've had him a while, was he eating before and, if so, when did he stop eating?

Does he yawn frequently while he's basking?

What do his eyes look like---are they swollen and closed? Or do they look normal?

What is your turtle's set-up like?

What is the temp of the water and basking area? (If you don't know, you need to check them with a thermometer.)

What have you been trying to feed your turtle?
