How long can it take for a painted turtle to readjust to an above the tank basking platform? It’s been 3 days and he won’t go up the ramp.
I resurfaced it with astroturf. He keeps going to it and checking it out. He’s just not going up into it yet.Anything new can scare them. It may take a few more days.
Just make sure the ramp is not too steep or slippery.
Ya it's probably because its new. Be careful with the astroturf. If he nibbles on it it can really be bad. I'd get rid of it.I resurfaced it with astroturf. He keeps going to it and checking it out. He’s just not going up into it yet.
