welcome to the board Smile

what a cutie lil raph is

it's normal for new turtles not to act like they should (eat, bask,..) for the first week or two cz of the change. but don't worry, with time he'll get used to u and start begging for food everytime someone passes by him Smile

It won't be long before he's at the front of your tank begging right before you walk in. They're that smart.

Mine only beg when I come around, no one else, my fish beg for food only from me as well Laughing
