turtles can go a really long time with out eating. Have you tried hatchling pellets, blood worms, earth worms or even just putting aquatic plants in your tank. What is the water temp. If you raise it a little it helps promote to eat. Just give your turt some food. Let it float there for a while and when you see it down at the bottom take it out and try again the next day. What is your set up like?
Good luck and God Bless
