Murray short neck turtle help

[spydalover]

My Murray short neck turtles were moved into a bigger tank on 3/8/10 and have since stopped eating is something wrong with them

 

[hornet]

what are the temps? same as the previous tank? How often were you feeding them

 

[spydalover]

The temps are around 24 degrees which is the same as the previous tank we feed them once a day they're around 6-8 months old

try bumping temps up, i have a 3yr old saw shelled and i have him at 26-27c

turtles can get stressed pretty easy , they should start feeding in a couple of weeks . 24c is fine for water temp, there not like saw shells and that . they dont come from warm waters , my murry shortnecks water temp is 24c .

My short necks are at around 24 degrees too. What age are yours?

What sorts of things are you feeding them on? As somebody above said, probably just stressed - one of mine stopped eating for a week or so when he was moved into a new tank a while ago. When all settled and he got hungry enough, he went back to eating as per normal.

Don't stress just yet.
