I didn't notice my turtles were gone. And neither were my parents. OMG just now my parents came from the vet(200 bucks) and got a big exam. They are PERFECTLY HEALTHY!!! i AM SOO HAPPY!!!
The only reason for slow growth was beacause, not enough UVB. And this was the same cause of fungus. She didn't reccomend anytthing. The penal thing was actually a penis! She said its natural. I have a male. The vet will do some testing to see what gender the other one is.
The jumping is caused be excitment.
I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised your parents decided to spend 200$ on your turtles, afterall they didnt even let them inside the house let alone buy them 5$ medication, or a 20$ filter..
Well, i can tell you this - you do need medication (betadine most of the time) to cure fungus..I dont think that vet knew what he/she was talking about when explaining to you how to deal with fungus. You might want to get a second opinion or ask your parents to drive you to a pharmacy to pick something like hibiclens or betadine up so you can treat it properly.
What changed your parents mind?

I didnt know my turts were gone. My parents said they were going shopping. Last night I cried about the turts. But the got back about an hour ago. IDK how they got my turts. May be they opened the side door then.
