This is him now.

This is him now.

My Yellow Belly Slider turtle will not eat. He goes through brief periods of not eating anything. I have tried different foods and everything. Help!

Background: I rescued this turtle about a year and a half ago from drying up outside of my school. He still fits in my palm, but is a lot larger then when I first found him.

My yellow belly slider is a picky eater as well, but she does like mixed green lettuce's (spring mix), and romaine lettuce, also dried shrimp and meal worms. An occasional grape as well. Good Luck.
