Good morning,
« My Florida Turtle » is Tosca !
a male of 37 years old,😎
When he’s stressed, he becomes agressive against himself, and all fit in his beak ( stones, platform, hiding-places, heater, filter..my fingers 😅 )
He bites his front legs as if it was another male.
Derterminated to hurt.
One of his fingers has been removed by his vet, he bited it so hard. 😓
Now I had to remove everything as he attacked a stone so hard he hurted his tong to blood. 🥺 Usually he’s living in liberty, with a total accès to water tank of 30 galions with hiding-places under the water and platorm for the sunbath on the balcony and inside a UV lampe, another small tank to eat in the apartment with a house if he wants to have a nap or rest in dry and dark. All his access free absolutely whenever he wants… Normally.
Now, for almost 6 month, I removed everything, all was a source of agressivity for him ( even stone he love to climb on and the heater which has been here forever.
And we don’t let him in the water without supervision to help the wounds to heal.
He is eating each 3 days fresh meat or fish/ granules for aquatic turtle / boiled pumpkin or Zukini …Flour worms are snacks.
Please,
Does anyone has an idea of what I can do to make him feel better ?!?
It’s torture to see him like that.
Things can change from a second to another…
Thank you very much for your advice. 🐢❤️
