Help!!! Urgent! Baby Turtle Won't eat

hunter_grove Feb 05, 2015 07:48 PM

Help Me! I recently purchased a baby turtle from turtle shack about 3 months ago and he hasn't even touched any food. I've tried feeding him live insects,small fish,turtle sticks,freeze dried shrimp, and lots of different vegetables, He is shell is pretty soft now and I'm worried that he's going to die. I have him in a well lit 55 gallon aquarium with a viquarium and one other tetra from my last tank. Please help

If it is a water turtle, does it have land space?

What kind of lights?
