Ok you tried to feed the baby snapping turtle a whole worm but it will not eat it?

Go to the store and buy it proper food. Some snappers may not like what you are feeding them and babies in particular may not be too fond of chowing down a whole worm. My baby snapper would not eat anything I gave it until I went to Petco and bought it Reptomin and Reptotreat for baby turtles. He loves it and you should give it a try because it has all the nutrients that your baby snapper will need. And just so you know, if you do choose to keep this turtle a lot of dedication goes in to raising it. Good luck ;)
