General Care Discussion :: Turtle appears to not grow

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2011 10:18 am   Turtle appears to not grow

I just wanted to put this topic out there, because my wife and I had acquired five baby turtles from a pool. We had rescued them, hoping to nurse them back to health. I already have three turtles of my own, who stay in a pond outdoors. However, these five turtles were so tiny, I feared releasing them into the wild. We lost one turtle and gave it what I felt was a proper turtle "burial at sea." Now, we have four turtles left. Three of these turtles (all of them are red ears) seem to be growing normally, but one appears to not grow at all. Is there something wrong with it?

If they are being fed together, he might not be getting his fair share.
