I like turtles

Have you ever tried turtle soup?

we have an old grumpy box turtle.

just stamp on it, it's for the best

My son's turtle use to love flies....trying not to kill them when you wack them the trick....Good Luck!!!

Is he stressed? Get him checked out by a vet, maybe they can help figure out why he won't eat.

my boyfriend found this turtle and brought it back to my house for my son to see. he thimks children shoud be up close and personal with nature and its beauty. he also said it was for temporary purposes but me and my son never returned it to its natural environment

The turtle may not like being caged.

Yes, nintendo has taught me that the proper way to deal with turtles is jump on it and then kick it into my enemies.

That also includes releasing wild things back to nature. I rescue turtles off the side of the rode and then turn them loose out in the tanks/ponds we have to go their merry way. Snappers get moved across the road, as I'm not putting that loose in the car!

Yes, set it free. Go forth and prosper little turtle.

Apparently a sea turtle with a bacterial infection swam right up to the front door of the Florida Turtle hospital, the only licensed vet hospital to solely treat turtles in the entire world, it just hung around for a few hours until it got treatment.

After treatment it was seen complaining to it's HMO for it's outrageous co-pay.

Fine the last part is made up, the rest is true.

I'm not a turtle expert, but googling turtle and "will not eat" turned up a couple of very informative pages.

The second link is probably the most helpful, as it gives specific environmental conditions as well.
