a friend of mine has a few baby turtles that are sick. they are terapins so i wasnt sure what forum to post on but i figured it you guys would know.
the tutles lately have been lethargic, stiff, eyes are swollen, they havent been eating, and their shells are getting soft. ya got any ideas? i told her she probably just has to take it to the vet.
the cage has plenty of area out of water (where they have spent most of the time lately) and plenty of water. im not really a turtle guy. but maybe it could be a calcium thing? well any input would be good.

Has your friend done any research on keeping these guys?
There are probably multiple problems with their habitat
and improper food if she has not.
UVB light:
basking area:
food?
If she does not take these guys to the vet and improve
their care they will die very soon!
