Its been about 3 weeks now since I caught him. Still no eating. I've offered reptomin,ham, and bologna. I know you shouldnt feed sandwich meat. But I just want him to eat. He is definitely a male. Any tips to get him to eat.

Have you tried any live prey? How big is he?

About 5-7 inch SCL. He has a basking area and a 75 gallon aquarium. He basks for about 4 hours a day.

Also, My female coastal plain cooter took about a month to start eating.

Something that I've found is a good last resort is canned tuna that is packed in water, and other people have had success with unseasoned shrimp. Be sure to offer it to him in a separate enclosure.
