I know a couple of people who raised baby turtles in the most inhumane way but they still grew fat and voracious eaters. They may not live happily through those years but they still grew. As far as the tank size, I am no newbie when it comes to growing turtles and the tank is always thermo regulated. I check it. And like you, I successfully grew other species of turtles and find it that babies tend to feel comfortable and safer in a smaller tank. Imagine a child put in a mall all by himself as oppose to a house or a room. A different case when they're all grown-up though, that I know. All my other turtles when they reach 3-4 inches goes to a 75 gallon Tank. You might be right about the cave so I may try that.



I just don't think it's the tank size and heat issue.
