General Care Discussion :: Refusing to eat

[Noobie101]

My baby RES wont eat and the other one eventually snaps it up is it sick?

[Twoster]

feed the turtles seperately.

see how that goes

Then, if your turtle still won't eat when he's by himself, come back and let us know.

When you separate them, take the one that snaps up all the food out of the tank so the shy one can have it all to himself.

i had this problem too. what works for me is throwing a few pellets to the far side of the tank for the aggressive turt and then while he's busy with those hand feed the shy one making sure he gets the same amount. it took a few tries but it works wonders now.

yay i figured it out! i took the "aggresive" one out and fed the small one

edit:Nvm the small one refuses to eat now
