Ah, okay then. I'll try it out the next time I give him lettuce.
And thanks for all the tips and advice. I'll be on lookout for potential food for him when I go out.[hr]
Thank you for those bits of support and encouragement - it really means a lot to me.
And yea, I guess I shouldn't...
Hi, I have a few more questions if you don't mind.
My turtle's doing a lot better and he's showing some interest in wanting to eat again.
Today I tried feeding him some green leaf lettuce because the reason he wasn't eating seems like he wasn't interested in his turtle pellets anymore...
Okay then.
I guess I'll just get two tubs/tanks and alternate between them while letting the water sit if I don't manage to find some conditioner.
Thanks for the advice and support.
I'll be watching him while he's outside and I'll bring him back in after a while so I think he should be fine.
If we're able to bring the old kiddie pool we have in the backyard right now to our new place, I can clean it up and let him go in there while I'm letting him out for some sun...
Thank you.
Today I noticed that he's moving a bit more and the eye that was swollen has gotten a bit better and has opened up a bit.
Either way, I will still be buying a much larger tank with all the equipments needed and try to bring him to a vet.[hr]
Thank you for all sharing all...
Yea, I know it's living space is terrible right now.
Unfortunately I was a stupid thirteen year old when I gave him to my aunt to take care of with no further instructions.
I have been doing research these past few days and I will buying the needed equipments.
Thank you for your help so...
Before anyone says anything, I know that the tank's WAY too small.
There's no other excuse than me being a bad pet owner and not doing the proper research of how big it needs to be when I was smaller.
I will be getting a bigger tank along with the proper equipment this week.
Right now I've...
I'm not really sure.
As I've mentioned in my first post, I haven't seen my turtle in about a year and a half so I've never seen this before.
There were two floating on the surface and squirming around (and about 5 under the water not moving at all so I'm not sure if they were actual worms...
Yes, he has a place where he can get out of the water.
I'll try placing a desk lamp over the tank.
I'm worried that it might become too hot though.
Do they usually move away from the heat if it gets too hot?
It's great to hear that the shell is fine.
I'm hoping that he doesn't feel...
Thank you!
My name's Natasha.
I've been refilling his tank with warm water ever once in a while yesterday and today.
I don't really have the proper equipments (like heaters and lamps) because like I said earlier, I was too young when I got him so I never understood how to take care of a...
Yea, I did a quick search but the problem is that all the vets near here don't look at turtles.
The other thing is that I can't go far because I can't drive yet and my mom's not that great with directions (especially if we need to go downtown for this).
It's also too late now but I'll try and...
I live in Richmond, BC, Canada.[hr]
I can only take pictures from the top at the moment because I heard that turtles can't breath properly if you turn them on their backs and I'm afraid that if I hold it with one hand only and it struggles, I might drop him.
I've only taken a picture of...
I apologize if the grammar here's not great. I'm really worried about my turtle and I don't want to spend too much time correcting this in case it's too late.
I first got my turtle at a night-market when I was 4 (around the year 2000) as a gift, so now it's almost 11 years old.
I'm...
