My turtle is not doing much of anything he is just floating on top of the water and not coming up for air. When i poke him he moves so I know he is not dead yet. I have fed them I have another one also who is active swimming and eating this one is not at all. I put him on top of his floating island and he did not move once. I read some of the forums here and I checked he does not have swollen eyes and he does not appear to be breathing at all.I decided to do what one person suggested I put him in a smaller aquarium and put him in a bottle cap and put some food in the bowl but still nothing he is opening his eyes a little but please I dont know a vet around my area to take him to and I cant tell if he is sick or just sleeping. What are signs that he is dying?
