Hello!
I'm relatively new to keeping turtles. Over the last year or so I've fostered a few and now I have one of my own.
My turtle is an Eastern painted turtle, and he's quite active and friendly.
Whenever someone is near his tank he starts swimming/pawing at the glass.
Could this mean he's...
Yesterday my turtle ate the sponge of the filter installed in the aquarium I am worried what should I do Since yesterday he looks lethargic although he is eating food but little by little.
So about 2 1/2 months ago, my yellow belly slider (female, 7yrs) stopped eating and I got really worried and eventually took her to the vet where she stayed for a while until they got to the bottom of what was wrong with her apparently she had a nasty fungus bacteria growing in her oesophagus...
