Hello, everyone.

My name is Alex, i 've lived in South Korea.

I've kept my two aquatic turtle, Narrow bridged musk turtles.

EUCB Female, EUCB Male,

I have so many wonders since our country have not so much of this kinds of turtle.

Please help me to figure out what cause my Female turtle's lack of appetite..

She hasn't eaten almost a month.

all what happens to her is moved several times of cases(environment).

I assume that it might be stress prevent her to adapt new environ, give her very alert.
or it could be parasite inner - infection.

I dose her reptaid 6 days, but somehow she kept loose her weight .
She's shell is about 8~9cm, her weight is 103g at first day of dosing.

now she is 100g.

anyone ,any advise would be much helpful and appreciated.

thank you

What kind of lighting do the get? Sunshine? How clean is the water in the tank?

They don't get that much light. I have UVB light but since it is aquatic(almost) turtle, also carnivore diet, i don't give them.
Do you think it could be the lack of UVB ?

Hi Ales, and welcome to the Forum!!

What is the temperature of the water? Also, maybe she's not liking living in the same water with a male turtle. Try separating them and see if she will eat. Do you offer any live food? Or maybe some fresh-killed fish/sardines?

Hi Yvonne G ,
Thanks for the greeting.
Water temp is settled as 29'C.
Also,when she was with the male turtle,i noticed that she got stress.
So i put them separately.

I fed her around 100 mud fishs in same container.
She ate them all,any pieces nome remain.

Do you think she might be addicted with live food? Instead of eating pallets?

She used to be a big fan of all kinds of pallets,but now she has no longer appetite towards all.
