RES basking/sleeping/lazy
Hi guys!
Well the two turtles I picked up have now been here for almost a week.
The larger one (about 3-4 inches) is very scared, but he has been eating almost everything offered, and he basks a good amount of time as well. His fungus is also already less than it was.
The smaller one (1-2 inches) was doing excellent on day 1&2, he had turtle pellets, a couple worms and some veggies. He was swimming, basking, etc.
Over the past couple days he has refused food. He also spends about 90-95% of his time basking. I know RES are aggresive baskers, but this is like ALL the time. And its not "healthy" basking either in my eyes. Instead of basking with legs out, head up and awake, he gets on the rock and lays his head down and sleeps. For hours. I have thought he was dead twice now. He will wake up and jump in the water if scared sometimes, but he just has an overall "drowzy" behaviour right now.
Anyone know whats going on here? Suggestions? Ideas?
