Answer
Hi Madawi,

I need more information in order to help you.  Please post back with information on:  tank size, type of filter, basking and UVB light(s), basking and water temperature.  In general, lack of appetite is due to poor water quality, temperatures too warm or cool, lack of UVB, or parasites/general illness.  Usually if any problems with the setup are corrected, the appetite will return.

I'll do my best to help if you can provide the information requested.  In the meantime, below are detailed links on caring for a red-eared slider:
