One reason why your baby turtle will not eat because newly-acquired turtles may be shy and may not eat at first. They are more likely to eat if you do not watch them so this is one case where you would not try to watch them eat, if you want-try walking away from wherever they are kept and come back to wherever they are kept in like 3-5 minutes. Your turtle also needs to be fed in water because painted turtles are aquatic and they have special tongues that only allow them to swallow food under water.
