Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Tuck died :(
We found his body at the bottom of the tank when we got home from a days outting. I don't know what went wrong. Speedy is fine. Tuck was fine this morning when we fed them. Hyper and eatting up a storm. He was still basking his shell just started to grow. The tank ttemps are fine. His eyes wernt swollen or cloudy. He didn't look injured.

Tomorrow I'm taking him back to petland because he was gaurinteed for 30 days.

This sucks, I loved his little face.

sorry for your loss. Ask them will they let u bury Tuck. Most of the time when u return dead animals, they'll just throw in a bin or smth. Its not nice at all.

Yeah I might ask them. I was there today while I was out (noticed tuck dead after they closed) that they only have one turtle left whose really tiny. I hope when I get it its not going to die on me :(
