Spotted Turtle Question???

D Goudie Nov 29, 2004 06:15 PM

Hi Guys;

Does anyone have any suggestion as to how I can help 1 of my spotties, he seems to have trouble sheding to the point where dead scales seem to get built up where he loses that nice shiny black sheen on his carapace. He's not acting sick or anything but IS not as pretty as my other 2.

None of my 3 are eating much these days either put they STILL won't turn down pinkie mice or meal worms. Guess from what I've been reading in here thats the 'norm' for this time of year.

I'd appreciate any help as to what to do about the little guy's carapace problem though.

Thanx
Dean

Is he getting Vitamin and calcium supplements and proper lighting?

How about nightcrawlers as food?
