I have a few questions for you in order to help. First of all was it wild caught, or a captive born that was hibernated by its previous owner. What kind of set up does it have? How big is it? It sounds like it could be ready to lay eggs, it seems a little late in the year, but this could be a possibility. Females are normally voracious in their appetite and then stop eating a week before laying, at least this is how it works for boxies. They will also be active towards dusk. I personally have never seen a wood turtle that doesn't want to eat. It also usually needs to get really cold for them to slow down, and really it is still pretty early for hibernating. I was just out last saturday and temps were in the low 40's and the woodies(ones in the wild) were still out, eating mushrooms at that.
