READ ME!!! This is a quick advice video to help in getting a turtle to eat if he will not eat his food, or a new turtle that won't start eating.
The best enticing foods I find for turtles are Earth Worms, Meal Worms, Canned River Shrimp for Turtles, Live Crickets and any other live bait suitable for Aquatic turtles.
To find earth worms in the garden, find a damp shady spot of soil close to the evening time (if it is very very dry, soak a little with water 10 minutes or so before) and dig around six inches down. The worms are usually found in the clumps of earth you dig up.
PLEASE make sure the area you are getting the worms are free from poisons, chemicals and pesticides as these can be seriously harmful for your turtle.
Meal worms, canned shrimp and live crickets and bait, can be found at most pet stores and are extremely affordable.
If after a few days of trying these tips, and he is kept in a suitable environment, he still refuses to eat, he may need to see a veterinarian as there may be an underlying health concern.
