Hello, I am new to the forum however I have tried my best to search all over the internet to look for some information with no results.
Anyways here is my problem: My turtle is a indotestudo elongata (I am not sure what the popular name is since I am Chinese and had to translate the name to the best of my ability.) The problem I'm having is that my turtle seems really lazy to the point where I'm a bit worried. My turtle is eating properly but just doesn't move, there are even times I feed him and he has his back turned on the food and just stays there for a few hours until I literally have to turn him around and then he starts eating. When I get him to move around he does have some problems dragging his back legs but I am feeding him an additional calcium supplement since I noticed him having this problem. I keep him in a small pen where he rests but he is able to crawl out and I have fenced in a good part of my balcony to let him roam around and planted some grass in some shallow platters in there so he can play in them. However he doesn't move at all even after he pees or defecates (I had to give him a lot of baths.) I have read that these turtles are only active during early morning and late evening however he is not very active even during those times. If anyone have any advise I would like to know if my turtle is okay.
