Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I have never seen them do this but they are face to face like they are kissing or something and putting their front feet in eachothers face and shaking the feet in their face really fast. What are they doing?

It's a mating dance that they are doing.

Or it can a territorial issue. It's called "fluttering."

Two males or females or one of each? Keep an eye one them.

Males and females can both flutter when it's territorial, so you need to keep a closer eye on them.
