My Three-toes eat like little pigs. Their appetites tend to grow right along with them. I've noticed no decrease except very slightly when they reach adulthood. I rarely encounter one of my Three-toes when they aren't acting starving.
It is concerning to me that your turtle's appetite has decreased. Is it defecating? Have any aspects of your husbandry changed along with the appetite decrease? Do you provide vitamin/mineral supplementation? Can you post a picture of the turtle?
Appetite loss is often the first sign of serious issues. It's good that you've noticed this and plan to address it.
