I recently moved koopa from inside to an outside turtle table. He absolutely loves the space and natural sun. It's an added bonus that his color is popping more ;) haha
So just a little but ago I had koopa out giving him a good soak out on this nice day. I pick him up and he closed his shell all of the way!! I'm just posting because I thought they didn't start to grow their hinge until a couple of years old? He's only 8 months.
Okay well, he is about 4 months old. I have him in a 75 gallon tank until I get this bid on a house, then I'll buy a 200 gallon plastic pond liner from lowes until he outgrows it. Five foot I will need a permit from DNR in Indiana. After, my dad does concrete, so I'll have him make an outdoor...
They usually won't eat if their eyes are shut, best thing for you to do is give it a warm water soak every day and chicken/carrot baby food soak. If it lasts much longer I would take it to the vet.
