if hes underwieght use fattyer foods at first. cat food is not good for long term use but is very good for skinny turts. it has a lot of stuff in it along with fat. you can mix in stuff like babyfood squash too for more vitamin a, and scraape on some cuttlebone flakes for more calcium. he will gain weite quicker with a mixture of foods like that and theres more nutrition in it than night cralwers that are just protein and almost nothing else. and once the get the turt eating the catfood with other stuff in it, he will probaly be willing to eat more difrent kinds of stuff after that. its a mistake to feed turtles the same thing day after day.
