Thanks to everyone for the suggestions but...still not eating. She has been offered hay, fresh endive, mustard greens, bok choy, collards, carrots, apples, squash, watermelon and freshly picked dandelions. Nothing. She'll sorta sniff at the squash but thats it. I've been doing twice a day enemas. Nothing. She occasionally stands and acts as if shes trying to poop but nothing. I've even asked the aquatic expert at our local aquarium who has sea turtle experience for ideas. I will force feed her if I have to but am a bit reluctant because this is a fifty pounder and it won't be easy on her or me. I'll just keep trying but if anyone has any ideas I haven't already tried I would greatly appreciate the input. Why do torts always pee on you when you don't want them to and then not pee when there're supposed to!! Geez after all this is done I'm gonna have a serious talk with this torts human!
