General Care Discussion :: Pandora's not eating

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2006 10:21 am   Pandora's not eating

One of my res, Pandora, refused her favorite food this morning. All was fine yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that I re-homed my other 2 res yesterday and maybe she noticed? They were in a different tank but they did communicate with eachother. Now the whole setup is gone. Could this have upset her? My other res, Rocks, is fine. I picked her up this morning and her eyes, nose, mouth and shell look just fine. Any ideas?

Maybe all the activity in the room yesterday scared her a little. I'm sure she'll return to normal soon. :)

Ok she took some crickets this morning *whew* I know that not eating for a few days is not that big of a deal, but it is when you know it's not in their personality. She had me extra worried yesterday when she basked from noon until 8pm when I shut the lights off. If she didn't eat this morning I was going to call the vet. I'm still going to keep an eye on her. I was wondering if it had anything to do with the eggshells I gave them on the weekend but I figure if they can eat an entire crayfish and not get impacted, what are the chances an eggshell is going to do any harm.
