Hey,
So now my baby musk is refusing to eat. I've had him about a week now, and the only thing he touched was a little piece of ham I put in his tank. I've tried quite a few different commecial pellets, but he just seems oblivious. All he does is sit underneath a rock. I know that it's normally usual for a turtle to have a "breaking in" period", but shouldn't he be eating by now? Thanks I need some help please.

Try feeding him live food: mosquito larvae, small earth worms...that'll work for sure. Also, give him plenty hiding places and not too bright lighting to make sure he's comfortable.

Alrighty, thanks for your help, both of you guys.

how old is he, if he is only a couple of weeks he might still be feeding on the yaok in his shell
