What to Do When a Turtle Won’t Eat for Days
A turtle refusing food for days is usually environmental — new surroundings, low temperature, shallow water, or illness. Keep water 10–15 cm deep, hold 22–25°C, change water often, and tempt with shrimp or raw meat (never salty food); see a vet if it persists.
My dog suddenly stopped eating, is listless, and the whites of its eyes are a bit red. There is no veterinary hospital nearby—is there any medication I can give?
Not eating, low spirits and red eyes may indicate fever; take its temperature (adult rectal 37.5-39.2°C, puppy 38.5-39.5°C). If over 39.5°C it is a fever—cool with diluted alcohol on paw pads, belly and ears. If unvaccinated it may be distemper; test with a strip and use monoclonal antibody, interferon and serum plus amoxicillin-clavulanate and nerve-support vitamins.

Alligator snapping turtles are fiercer than usual pet turtles, so keep them in a separate tank to avoid biting others. They are large, needing at least a 1.2 x 1.8 m tank, and prefer shallow water just over the shell. Keep stable water temperature (20 to 28 C, under 2 C short-term change). Feed live fish, shrimp, lean meat, organs; occasionally fruit/veg; adults get some prepared food.
