Habitat - Indoor :: New Tank Setup - Period of Adjustment

[L.West]

I recently moved my two young Map Turtles from a 55 gallon aquarium to their new home - a 100 gallon stock tank. Everything went well with the new setup except the little buggers haven't basked that I know of. I assume it is just them being skittish with the new surroundings and they are scared. How long before I need to worry about them not basking?? I don't know for sure if they sneak up there during the day while I am at work but I have not witnessed them bask yet and they are on day 5 in their new setup.

Can any one tell me what I need to do. Any helpful suggestions would be great. Or, do I just need to give them time. If you see anything in this current pic that looks like it should be changed - please let me know.

Thanks

I think it's an great setup! Give them more time to adjust. Took my turtle 2 weeks to adjust to me moving his basking platform.

Looks awesome! Took my Sheldon about three days for a new one. About a week when I brought him home.

Looks good to me too. Have you tried luring them up the ramp? Does it have enough traction for them?
