I just got this soft shell and 2 painted turtles form this lady about 3 or 4 months ago. They were all housed together when i got them. The tank size was a 65 gallon tank and didnt have a basking light or a place for them to get onto land. They are all about 12 to 13 years old. She said she feed them when ever they had time with the turtle pellets. I know that she didnt feed them enough because the soft shell has a saddle on his back and doesnt eat at all when I try to feed it. Also one of the painted turtles doesn't eat. Can anyone tell me why the soft shell wont eat or what i can try feeding it. I have already tried feeding it the pellets, superworms, gelatin, feeder fish and greens, but wont eat any of them. Im desperate. I dont think he will live much longer. I also have made a pond out side for them which is alot bigger than what they had, they get enought heat because i live in florida and they have a place to get onto land. Thanks for any help.
