Well, I don't know how long you have had him or her, but usually if they're hungry enough they will eat just about any thing, what have you been feeding it, is this just something new. It might just not like the pellets, try chicken (cooked of course) and some fruits, one of mine likes the dried shrimp, the other does'nt even like the jar they come in, so they can be very different, more info may help figure this out Surprised

HOw long have you had your turtle? You can try turtle pellets, fish, fruit, or tuna. If you have had your turtle only a wek or so, give them time to adjust.
