my baby turtle will not eat and sleeps pretty much all day. when I pick it up it won't wake up. it's having a hard time eating too. what can I do to fix it? this is my first time with turtles and I really could use some suggestions...
the other turtle is just fine. we have a heat lamp and a place for them to dry out.

How old is the turtle? How big? How long have you had it? Whats the water temp? Do you have a UVB light?

it's not normal for them to be lethargic(not waking up) and is a sign of problems

the sleeping it not good it could be many things. try getting some baby cocktail shrimp and feeding him some cut up small but we do need lots more info.

try a worm and tuna fish, and dont stay in the room to watch, he may be nervous seeing a figure looming on top of him
