Re: Aquatic Turtle Problem

is the bigger one maybe bulling the smaller one away from the food? maybe you should take the big one out while the little one eats..

Re: Aquatic Turtle Problem

Turtles of the same age, don't grow at the same rate... but if your littler one is perhaps more timid, then it would be a good idea to try to feed them at opposite ends of the tank etc.

If you've not seen him/her eat, check out the gaps behind their back legs into their shell. If they're very empty/thin there you do need to be more alarmed.

Have you tried them on live river shrimp? They love something they can actually hunt! Also little frozen fish are good rather than dried if you can get some?

Good luck!
