Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

So the past few days my turtles have been very sluggish. They hold onto something underwater and just kind of hover while staring at me lol. You guys think this is normal?

Btw for anyone that remembers, Squirt is no longer obese. I fed them less for like a day and it was back to normal weight.

How "obese" was he before? Visible weight shouldn't just drop in a day or two.

Temperature seems ok, it's been a bit colder for the past 2 days from all the rain.

Squirt was pretty obese, it was like puffing out from the leg holes and stuff from the shell lol. It took maybe a day or 2 to get back to normal.
