Ok I know this is a pain but could you please answer these questions:

How big is your turtle?
How long have you had it?

What is the water temperature?
Are you using a water heater?
How much water is in there?
Are you using a water conditioner?
Are you using any filtration?

What is the basking temperature?
Is there a basking light?
Is there a basking platform that is easy to climb on?
What kind is it or what is it made out of?
Is there a UVB light?

What have you been trying to feed it?
When was the last time your turtle ate?

How big is the tank/pond/enclosure?
Is the tank near a window?
Is the tank in a room with a lot of activity?

Have you read the Basic Care section?
Have you searched the forums for similar situations?

Is there any other unusual activity/symptoms?

I was just looking at his one eye ( the one who is not eating ) And it seems like maybe he has an eye infection- I notice he rubs it a lot, and it appears to maybe be a little swollen... could that cause him not to eat and if he has one, what do I do????

You should separate them for now. Get a water heater, make sure the water is 78-82F, get some water conditioner, some thermometers and try some of the other things on the entice eating page (like meal worms). I would do all of this ASAP and look for a good herp vet while you're at it.

A herp vet is one who treats reptiles and amphibians. The term comes from herpetology, which is the study of reptiles and amphibians. A good herp vet should know about turtles, while a vet without herp knowledge probably only knows about mammels.

Also. You need bigger aquariums ASAP. You do know when these turtles are full grown you will need two 120 gallon aquariums.

Were you able to locate a vet for the little one that won't eat?

I'll keep you in my thoughts.

A submersible glass tube water heater is one of the best "insurance" you can get to prevent respiritory illness in turtles (and for a 10-gallon tank, you can pick up a 25W heater for about $8-$10. CHEAP). Just keeping the room temp at 82 degrees won't necessarily cut it because air temperature can fluctuate wildly during the day without you knowing it.

Also, get a stick-on thermometer for the outside of your tank so you can "at a glance" see the temp of the water. Check it daily to make sure your turtles are always at a proper temperature. These little stick-on strips are less than $2 and again, that way you will always know for a fact that the temp range of the water is good.

The reason why I stress water temp so much is because my first 2 turtles I ever had 18 yrs ago died because I didn't know about proper water temps. They both developed respiritory illness ("RI", also known as "pneumonia"). Turtle vets were far & few inbetween and no one knew how to treat them. They both died & I was very sad over this. Nowadays, the information is there. Water heaters are WIDELY available. There is no reason that any turtle ever has to suffer from this very *preventable* illness.

Good luck!

75-80F is a fairly large range for the water temp, especially since they're hatchlings. They do need a water heater, setting it at about 80F for now would be good. Rather than mealworms, try an earthworm (cut it into pieces if it's large)---there's much more nutrition in them and it sounds like your turtle needs all the nutrition he can get...

Did you find a herp vet?

I found this page, my Parents live in East Stroudsburg so that would be SO perfect... But the only thing is the East Stroudsburg one has no numbers or anything, So I am thinking about calling the one in Allentown, and trying to head down there ASAP!

Thanks for all your help everyone, I really appreciate it.
