I have six red-eared sliders. They are very small and young, about an inch and a half across at the shell. They live in a 10-gallon tank with a filter and proper heat lighting, both for daytime and nighttime. They are all happy, healthy turtles, except one.
I feed all my turtles separately, to avoid bullying and fighting, since I'd had that problem before with another turtle. They are fed in a small container and then put back into the tank after they are done. One of my turtles has not eaten for around two months now. He rarely opens his eyes, and when he does, they seem to have a film over them, which he also opens from time to time when disturbed. He rarely moves. I have tried different food (I normally feed them ReptoMin floating pellets, and I tried freeze-dried shrimp) and different water temperatures in the container I feed him in. All the other turtles eat very well. What is wrong with my turtle, and how can I get him to eat? He is wasting away and I'd hate to see him pass on.
