He hates it. He's ok if he can't see me.
The reason I joined this page was because my little man is having a few issues. But the things I have been reading on here. Iam so confused. Partial water changes. Bacteria blooms? Water stinking amd not changing it. I change his water every two weeks clean the filter- just kinda rinse it and I had no idea I should be treating him like a fish. He spends most of his time out of his tank and walking round the house with us. In the summer I bring him outside everyday in the yard and he slides down the hill.then goes back up and slides back down. Then I bring him in and he goes in his tank for a swim and a nap then he comes out again. I usually only keep him in there in the winter. This year I had to get a different platform for basking and it took days for him to go on it. And now he is twitching and scratching at him self while basking. I did just replace all of his lights. I also treated him for a fungal infection. I thought that was why he was scratching. But it may or may not be shedding. He's getting old. I really care about him and it kinda breaks my heart to read I am doing all this wrong. He was doing fine until he started to twitch while basking. Well he won't bask anymore and he doesn't twitch...... but summer is a long way away. Doesn't he need the vitamins? I really don't know what to do. He's a special guy. He brings our family together, like most pets do. He really means the world to us
