with out a feed?
I have got 2 new 6 week old RES hatchlings, I have had them for a week now and they behave fairly normally for young turtles, they are shy and swim away and hide often, they are basking well.
But they dont appear to be eating any food, I have tried pellets, tuna, dried shrimps and red meat.
I am not hugely concerned yet as I know its not uncommon for this to occur in a new environment for them and similar happened with my 3yr old RES, I just dont remember it taking this long before

Just keep offering, when they get hungry enough they will eat, and only they know when they are hungry enough.
