For now you can soak the turtles in a shallow bowl of tepid water 2-3 times a day to help keep them hydrated and also remove build up of by-products, toxic or otherwise. If you can upload a video on Youtube-that might be helpful. Other than soaking-naturally keep them mosit and warm.

You mentioned you feed them worms-where do you get the worms? Any chance they could have been toxic? What kind are they? Did you use any recalled dog or cat food? I would not use any product unless you are absolutely sure it is safe to use. Is the shaking getting worse?

Thanks for getting a hold of my book Tess
