I accidentally become a 2 little turtles owner, my housemate catches 2 turtles in my condo's fishpond.

Does turtle eats bread ? or biscuit ? Because my house really nothing to feed them.

Hi, why not try using those heat bulb? I'm using exo terra brand. Previously using table lamps from ikea. Can feel the heat but after changing to heat glo infrared bulb from exo terra, there's a huge difference. Can feel the air around kinda heated/warm.
I'm no expert but according to my vet, if their body temp increase, their immune system improves & recuperate much faster. Thus, what I've learn to take note are :
1) temp, especially in e night
2) sunlight
3) diet
4) exercise

Hope I did help somehow.
Do bring it to e vet if still unwell. Let it sun more. Else get a UVB bulb.

Cheers & keep us posted.

I don't have any heat bulb or UVB, it is expensive ? Below RM15 maybe I can afford. sweat.gif
Btw, how do you put your heat bulb ? DIY ?
