It's only Monday. I say give him time. Lots of times, turtles need to get used to their environment before they'll eat. Keep offering him the pellets until he takes them. It really shouldn't be longer than a few more days. If, after a few more days he's still not eating, try something smelly like tuna (packed in water) or boiled chicken. Then once he's eating that, go right back to the pellets.

This is probably your 3rd or 4th topic about this. I'm not sure if you're reading your other topics or any of the dozens of other similar topics, but any more double posts/topics will be deleted.
