There are numerous reasons that could be answer to why your turtle is not eating. Here are some.
1. your turtle does not recognize the food as food.
2. your turtle has just moved to a new environment and does not feel comfortable enough to eat yet.
3. your turtle is too cold to eat, keep him in water the temperatures of 74-80 degrees F.
4. Your turtle is sick
5. your turtle is pregnant and not eating as much but still eating some.
6. your turtle has hatched less than about 10 days ago and is still absorbing the yoke from is egg or is not hungry yet.
7. Your turtle doesn't like the food. Try turtle pellets, live fish, small snails or tadpoles, earth or blood worms, and turtle safe aquatic plants.
8. your turtle may be a picky eater, try tempting him to eat with hard boiled eggs, cooked chicken, or raw ground beef.
If your turtle doesn't start eating soon then take him to a reptile vet to see if he is sick or not.

∙ 12y agoDepends on what type of fish it is. I would buy a different type of food, you could try pellets instead of flakes or vice-versa. If they still are not eating I would consult to your local petstore

∙ 8y agoI have a 20 gallon fish tank in my room. In it I have two 2 inch long bream and a pike that is even smaller. In with them I have a handful of trash minnows to give them something to eat, yet the are not eating them. Many of the minnows are very small, small enough that the fish can eat them. I have tried giving the bream and pike worms and the bream bread, but they are not eating anything. I changed the water just yesterday with the exact water I caught the fish from and they have only been in the tank for 1 or 2 weeks. I also have a aerator and the water is kept around 66 to 76 degrees. I don't understand what is wrong and if I can't get them eating soon I'm going to release them. Please help!

Actually turtle do not eat other turtles as their daily life food. Baby turtle may eat fish food from the store.
