Either your map turtle is too cold to eat, and is preparing for hibernation, your turtle recently noticed a big change (like a new tank, new tank arrangement, or you traveled with your turtle) or your map turtle is sick. Check the water and basking temperatures to make sure they are hot enough. Water and basking temperatures depend on what specific species your map turtle is, but is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit for water temperature and 90+ degrees Fahrenheit for your basking temperature. If your turtle doesn't eat for three days, take it in to a vet.
You can feed them baby turtle pellets as well as small bloodworms, small mealworms, spinach and lettuce. Try to feed it a variety of things, and generally no more than is the size of its head.
They usually eat bloodworms, mealworms, spinach and lettuce. I hope this helps!
