I got 2 red ear sliders, approx 1 yr old. I had them set up in my room at first, but then moved them somewhere else. They started behaving weirdly, and they didn't eat for 2 weeks. I put them back in my room, and they behaved normally.
Now, I HAD to change it back, and they're doing the very same thing. They're very restless. What can i do to make them feel like home?

ps: it's the same aquarium and setting, just another room. And the temp and lightning is the same.

There's a window nearby, but it doesn't really bother them...I guess..

Pets get this vibe. maybe in your room it got a good vibe and the other room had a bad vibe. Try putting your turtle in another room. If it acts the same way i suggest you leave it in your room. and try the poster idea too. Smile

Good LucK!
