I came home this evening and found my one turtle (I have 3) floating beside the filter (which he usually does). I wouldn't have given him a second glance except I noticed he was positioned funny so I moved the filter a little and he just fell out. This is when I thought my baby was dead.
But then he swam to the middle of the tank, but slower than usual. I fed them like normal but noticed only the other 2 were eating. When I looked in the tank for the third, I noticed he was in the corner, upside down.
Okay so again I thought he was dead but then again he moved a little but looks like he's injured. I don't see any wounds though. I reached in to pick him up to move him to the basking rock and he swam real fast to the other corner but then allowed me to pick him up. I expected to feel a soft shell but it's hard as a rock. Now he has been lying on the basking rock for about 45 minutes with no movement but his eyes are open. Now the other 2 are laying next to it. Is he just tired or sick and dying...or could it be a she and could she be pregnant? I have no idea!
Please help!
