Don't try the cat thing! Make sure you're turtle is in water that is a good temp. (78-82 degrees) and don't try everything at once. Offer a little something and leave it alone for a while. Or try putting your turtle in a small container with food and leave it alone overnight. If you have a healthy baby snapper it WILL eat!
