Check the water temp, ambient temp and basking temp. Low temps can affect appetite in turtles. Maintain pristine water quality and make sure any food offered is small enough for her to eat. Feed her in the water and remove any uneaten food to prevent fouling the water.

Thanks for reaching out about your turtle. Checking the water and environmental temperatures are important for appetite. If too cold, appetite is suppressed. Contacting the previous owner/pet store, and inquiring on previous diet might help. Live prey (fish, mealworms) sometimes stimulates appetite centers. Good luck.
