I have 2 aquatic turtles. One has now gotten 3x's bigger than the other. I believe the smaller one is female. I thought they were having sex in the past but now I see the larger one seems to have nipped the tail off the smaller one (it was bleeding). I watched to see the smaller one never getting off the dock b/c the large one is chasing the small one and it won't eat. Yesterday the small one was belly up for several hours until I helped it turn over. What's the deal? Pls help I feel sorry for the small turtle. respond to keshahj@yahoo.com.
