What you should do, is just be paitent and wait. eventualy, the thing your feeding your snapper will die,(if not already dead), or the snapper will eat it. while i writing this, I'm looking ant my snapper and a tadpole i just cought for him , and i am dying to see how he'll eat it or how he'll kill it. All he's doing is sitting on top of it. BORING!!!!!
well i really do not know because in July 2009 i found 11 baby snapping turtles and i could not get them to eat
I found a baby snapping turtle and she would't eat the bologna we gave so we waved chicken in her face and sprinkled tiny shrimps and she ate all of those.
You should not even own a snapping turtle but if you have special permission to own one that okay. Your turtle might be to cold so get it a heating lamp. If that does not work it is probably dead.
If your turtle is not eating it might be best to take him/her to the vet, if your turtle is in a new tank, then that is normal, they have to get used to the new area. Another reason is the turtle might be trying to go into hibernation, if it is dall then , maybe.
This is a very informative website: http://www.turtlehomes.org/usa/index.shtml Good Luck!
Take your baby snapping turtle to the vet. It might be sick and need some medicine. Good luck:)
