first of all, what is your water temperature? second of all turtles should only be fed the amount of food that would fit in their head. you don’t want to over feed. how much are they eating? how big are they exactly? can u give us any more info? have u changed their eating routine?

They may just not like morning feedings ... as long as they are eating well at the other time you feed them they should be well ..

How early are you feeding them? First thing in the morning they may not have had time to warm up and raise their metabolisms ...

Mine aren’t eating much either, but how long have you had them? They take about a week to adjust to their surroundings before they’ll eat. Mine have just started eating.

 Weird res eating

I have had them since about may 2004. Now i have another problem, the littlest one (squirt) has been opening hid mouth really wide underwater, not like he was drinking water. And also he has been eating very few pieces of food or none. Is he sick? Please help
