i think the fun for my turtles is eachother. They always do the paw "flutter" thing. Its very interesting, they can never leave eachother alone, no fighting yet, very happy bout that ;)

My turts love to rub against everything in the tank. Rocks, under the basking ramp etc. Sometimes I take an old toothbrush and rub their shells. They love it! They do this little "turtle dance", working their shells back and forth, it's one of the funniest things I ever saw.

:lol::lol::lol:
Mine likes to push his around too, AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING!!! :evil:
I think he gets the munchies at that time and is looking for any scrap of food he didn't eat :P

He loves the rocks. Haha. Mine does too. I've had to redo the setup I've done on the filter intake every couple of days because he just mauls down the rocks when he chases after his pellets and worms.

my turtle likes to do "tank water rafting". he likes to swim against the rushing stream created by the filter. i saw him doing that a few times a day. looks like he's enjoying it. :)

I put a mirror on the side of the tank and my turtle will stare at him self for a long time and then if you move the mirror down the tank he will follow it.

My turtle likes to run under this big rock and just pushes against it, he can't move it, it would be like me trying to push the local bank home lol impossible but he seems to have fun struggling against an object about a billion times larger than him.
