I have a wild rescue that can not be returned to the wild due to his domestication and poor vision. He is only about 2-3 years old, but physically more mature than other turtles his age. In the last week all he wants to do is go outside and try to get to a stream that I recently moved near. I understand that it is spring and \'love is in the air\' but there is no way he will be mating. Is this going to cause him any stress or damage to not find a female? He is awfully pushy and insistent in getting out of his tank. When will his behavior subside?
