Turtles often go on hunger strikes? My FRT has been disinterested in food for a few weeks now and I am starting to worry.

He just site in the corner of the aquarium facing upwards and doesn't move much.

Even refuses Kiwi which used to be his favorite.
Nothing has changed recently, no agressive fish picking on him, No obvious signs of injury or health issues.

What's the temp? I would make sure he's at least at 82F, around 84F would be better. You can try feeding algae wafers also, they seem to love those.

TEMP NEED TO CHECK ADD SALT , ALSO TAKE HIM OUT CLEAR HIM UP first and use UVB light to dry and santazle for 30 min after that put him back in the tank

Tank temp is usually 83-85..

Currently 83.8

Well he ate some pellets today so I am encouraged.

And he sits in the corner with the bottom of his shell in the sand and his head pointing towards the top of the tank.
