Ok so I dropped my turtle Tito about two weeks ago
(The usual- he climbed out of my hands)
Just before that I got him used to people he barely even hid when people were holding him
Shortly after I dropped him (after I made sure there was nothing wrong with him) he kept on sinking to the bottom of his tank and hiding in his shell of corse I took him out to feed him and he would eat really quickly not being very jumpy but every time I would put him in the tank he would hide- that continued for about three days
Now whenever I walk into the room he jumps inside the water (he's usually basking when I come in) sinks to the bottom and goes as far away from me as he can and swims agents the far corner of his tank and comes up for air and then continues
He also sometimes hides behind the heater it has been two weeks and he's still freaking out which is making me freak out I don't know what to do every time I hold him he moves his legs as fast as he can and tries to get away
U don't want him to be scared anymore but I'm afraid hell always be like this I just want my old Tito back
