General Care Discussion :: Update on Baby Turtle!

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 12:44 pm   Update on Baby Turtle!

She's doing so well!!! I believe it has grown a little. It no longer floats when it swims! It basks and swims...stretching out limbs and EATS every time I feed it!!! :lol: I am so happy :D Thanks for all the advice on how to help it get better!!

:( Toutolina just bit her on her arm. It's limp and she won't move it. :(

Is the skin broken? Perhaps it's time to think of giving her a separate set-up...

You did a good job. No more RIs for turtuga.

Oh I was really happy hearing that Tortuga is swimming normally. But i'm sad again. I hope its not serious. I wish I can help but I don't have any experience with that. I hope she recovers immediately
