Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I think my baby RES turtles are sick : ( They have barely eaten since I got them about two weeks ago. One of them seems a lot less reactive than she used to be...She used to slide off the basking area and hide at the mere sight of me...but now she just sits in the basking area and just...sits there. I was hoping she has just gotten used to me...but I think one if her eyes is starting to swell :(

I've read through some of the info and tips posted here...hopefully something will work. I tried feeding them tuna today, and they ate (yipee!) but it doesn't have as much nutritional value as, say, pellets, right? I'll see if they will eat again tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed :mrgreen: Otherwise, I'm gonna need help :cry:

It doesn't but the main thing is to get them to eat and build an appetite. Maybe you can mash up some pellets and sprinkle a bit on it.
