Hi,
My 5 year old female map turtle stopped eating 3 weeks ago. She eats a mix of shrimp and pellets usually but won't even look at food now. I took her to the vets after she stopped eating for a week and the vet said she was perfectly helathy and to try feeding cat food. I tried feeding her raw fish but she didn't even look at that. I've been putting her in a nesting box for a couple hours a day to try get her to lay eggs but that hasn't helped. I've just brought her a new tank and I'm currently building in a nesting box into it. I've run out of ideas after that.
I think I may have found what could be wrong with her though. I picked her up today and noticed some white marks on her shell. I don't think they were as prominent before so I'm wondering if it could be she'll rot. I don't know if you'll be able to see from the pictures but any help would be appreciated
