Turtle poop concerns
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2021 4:37 pmHello,
I have a Red Eared Slider that is 65 years old and recently she had some poop that concerns me about her health. Since yesterday she has been lethargic and sleepy, usually she is an active turtle that swims a lot and tries to escape her tank. Today she was still acting sleepy and taking naps, in the afternoon I found that she had pooped on her basking log. The poop came out similar to diarrhea and mushy, there was also this solid jelly like substance that had some mucus on it that was next to her poop. I brought the turtle greens, veggies and fruit to eat, along with reptile turtle pellets and mealworms. However, this morning I saw the strawberries I brought went bad and started to have mold. I am not sure if the strawberries made her sick or if she has parasites.
I am not sure what is going on with the turtle but if any one might have any advice or suggestions as to what is possibly wrong with my turtle.
