Hi guys i have been so busy recently I havent given terrance much attention for the past couple of months like i used to. I jus feed him n get on with my day recently before I used to hold him scratch his back let him walk around my room and stroke his neck and stuff like that. Now he jus appears down n lazy like he cant be bothered, feel bad now :(

ch-ag -- In a word the answer is no! The owner can get down and worried about the turtle, but not the turtle. If you want his attention don't feed him a couple of days he will turn his hungry eyes your way. These are reptiles and questionably cold blooded. m.

It's possible that his tank is just not exciting anymore. Try spicing it up by changing the setup, or adding toys or plants or a feeder fish to chase around. Make sure he's just feeling LAZY and not LETHARGIC!
