Thanks for reaching out about your turtles. Check and correct water parameters for pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, temperature. Check the basking area for temperature and UVB exposure. If these things seem appropriate for the species, a veterinary visit is recommended. A varied diet is important also, including pellets and some vegetables. Good luck.
