Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I have a questions, I hope someone has a response.... I have 3 Tiny RES. I've had them for about 3 months. They have their first visit to the Vet in a couple of weeks... well, one of them sleeps quite a bit in organic pet grass I purchased from Petsmart.... he doesn't come out to eat or swim. Should I be concerned?

If the other two are getting the third turtle's share of food, that is not good. He'll quickly become the bullied turtle, if he isn't already. It sounds to me like he spends most of his day hiding.
Does he appear lethargic at all?
