Hi all,
Just bought baby RES turtle yesterday. Is it normal that it don't eat in the first few days? Because it doesn't show any interest at all on the pellet that i put in. Is it because of the water too cold? I just put normal filtered tap water. Should i mix some hot water to bring up the temperature? Thanks |

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Nov 30 2010, 02:55 PM) Cold water could be the cause but it could also be that the turtle is not well !! BUT about the hot water part , how long you think the " hot-er" water temp. maintain 5 minutes and then you add again ? It just a simple square tupperware type plastic case the size of A4 paper with some stones in it for the turtle to climb. I changes the water everyday with filtered tap water and filled the case untill 1/2 inch water level. Today is day 2 already and still he/she didn't touch any of the pellet that i put in. I'm worry that he/she might die by starving.Go invest in an aquarium heater if your container is big enough !! If can post some picture of setup , its location in your room/house ......etc  I actually saw some skin peeling of from its tail, is it shedding skin? |
