I need help with my RES!

Question

My RES turtle won't eat anything beside turtle pellets. well i have 2, one is 1 inch in diameter and the other is 1 1/2 inches in diameter. the one that is 1 1/2 inch eats fine, it eats it's pellet and some worms i give it. but the other one eats only pellets. and he/she only eats it at times, and it's only about 5 a day or maybe less. i checked the temperature and it's normal, and it bask regularly too. so any suggestions to what i can feed it? and where i can get it at? btw i tried feeder fishes but they seem to ignore it. o you think i should try crickets or something?

Answer 1

you could try crickets or meal worms or some other bug, also give it some aquatic plants, they love water hyesenth (I'm sure I mispelled that) also, try taking the one that eats fine out of the tank and feed the problem turtle by itself, sometimes turtles will not eat if other turtles are around

Answer 2

definitely try crickets.  turtles absolutely love them.  but as long as the pellets you are feeding are high in calcium and vitamin a, then they should be fine.
