My youngest turtle, the one im really here for,
isnt eating. its just a little baby and it would only sleep. if i watch over him, it would go inside his shell.
my other turtles weren't like that they just ate and played along.
i will move the small turtle into the big tank with no one, but
would that help? what else can i do in advance?

thanks;;

esther.-

over-sleeping and not eating aren't good signs really. did u notice any other signs like soft shell, swollen eyes,..? what are the temps in there? separate him and raise the temps to the low 90's F then offer him smelly foods like tuna.

good luck and keep us posted
