My aquatic turtle that i found outside has beeen with me for about 3 months. He has been acting wierd by dashing in the water and swimming really fast. He also stopped eating. Is this a sign of impaction or is it something else.He just doesn't act normal any more.

PS: I also 2 other turtles that are the same breed and i have kept both of them for about 2 years now. They have never had this problem before.

the mad dash into the water when you approach is normal for a wild caught turtle or a baby turtle. they are fearful you might eat them. What else is he doing thta you think isn't normal? can you get a pic of him so we can identify his species?
