Hi, I'm new..

But onto the topic, my turtle USED to eat..and after the other turtle in his tank died [Other one drowned and we didn't know..] He stopped eating and I've been giving him bloodworms, Hikari turtle sticks, Reptomins and Shrimps. He wouldn't touch his food..and just today, I was holding him and he kept blowing out bubbles from the water and then I put him back in the water and all I see is this white stuff flowing out of his head, what is it?? And is there a chance he maybe sick?? Thz

It sounds like he has a possible RI (respiritory infection). What is your setup like, water/basking temps, size of tank etc.??

If the other turtle died he could have possibly had this too and just passed it along.

He's in a 10gallon tank and he's only an inch right now. his water temp is around 26-28..he doesnt have a basking temp because I'm lacking of $$ .. I'm getting things on my own for the turtle. o_o

Without a proper setup, your turtle will only continue to be susceptible to illness and disease. Without medical attention, your turtle will have difficulty recovering.
