Make sure first that you are eliminating any other possbilities for your babys reason for not eating. Does he have a sunning area? Is there enough water in your tank? Also make sure check the water temperature. Normal temp should be between 82-85F for sick or young turtles. A sustained temp. between 65-72F can contribute to loss of appetite and cause respiratory infection. Try small live feeder fish. Crickets only as a treat. Chopped green beans, carrot tops, dandelion. Make sure is is getting enough calcium and minerals. Cuttlebones are good.
You need a heat lamp and to regulate the water temp to around 74 degrees. Then it will eat turtle pellets.

Red Ear Slider Turtles eat a variety of foods. Yes, they will crickets, you can also feed dried shrimp, pellets, krill, or blood worms.
No. No.
You have to feed him milk three to four times a day and feed your baby fruit pulp and rice cereal three times a day to stay healthy. The food proportion varies from baby to baby according to their built and weight
I raised a litter of 4 baby squirrels. I would feed them 2 or 3 times a day. You can tell when they are done eating when their bellies are big and round and sometimes (depending on the squirrel) they will just stop eating on their own.
feed raw chicken or meat due to the risk of bacterial contamination. Also See. How Much Should I Feed My Red Eared Slider? How Should I Give My Red Eared Slider Its Food?
I feed my red-eared slider lettuce and carrots slices very thin. Moreover, I feed him Watermelons. He LOVES red bell peppers too!
