Hi,
as you have already found out the hard way, NEVER place a softie in with other turtles! With that aside, did your softshell eat prior to you placing him/her in with the red ears? He/she may be stressed due to the whole ordeal (softies stress fairly easily.) Another factor could be that he's injured.Then again, it could be temperature related. Like any other reptile, they won't eat if they get too cold. What is the temps. of your water? It should be around 78-80. Aside from pellets, try feeder minnows, feeder guppies,or ghost shrimp. (stay away from goldfish, they are high in toxins) Hope that this helps. ~Christy~
