Painted turtle

[barroncourtney45]

Recently my painted turtle, Red, hasn't really been eating. If he has its only been a pellet or two. I got him some little shrimps from petsmart yesterday and he ate some. I've tried giving him lettuce and stuff but he won't eat it. He just lays on it. Do you think he is just tired of the pellets all the time? Is he sick?

Can you take pictures of him and his enclosure? I could help you out more if I better understood his size and environment. Painted turtles should readily eat shrimp and many types of commercial food. Lettuce isn't even necessary to feed.
