Terrapin Care

[Graham]

Sorry, looks like your post was missed last week, it would have been better if you'd started your own thread rather than adding to a sticky, that way it would have been noticed and someone would have replied!

So you're OK now? What's your setup like, do you have a good filter etc..., tank big enough? Got some pix?

i have two terrapins one 5" and one 6 and half the small one keeps knocking the face of the big one then after 5min it get on the back of the big one then after about a few min open it mouth and get of and does this again
are they breeding .

Another post that seems to have been ignored because it's in the wrong place! Can't the stickys be locked to stop this happening?

Yes your turts are mating, if you started a thread of your own instead of adding to a sticky your post might get noticed sooner and answered.

they don't know the way of the forum...

I guessed that, all the more reason that stickies should be locked to stop this happening, generally they are not posts to be answered but complete informative articles in their own right.

This latest post has taken two days to be answered because it's in the wrong place, if the OP had been forced to start their own thread due to the sticky being locked it would have been answered almost immediately.

Hi there,We have just got 2 cumderland sliders for my daughter as she feel in love with them.All was well until about 6 days ago when one of them stopped eating,it is very slow in moving and hardly swims,the other one is fine but will only eat dried prawns(as i was told to feed them the dried food!!)and not the pellets. What else can i feed them and what can i do for the other one,Please help me!!!!!!!!

Hi, i've just joined. i have a beautiful large Yellow-bellied slider, but, she has'nt eaten for ages, when i offered her a prawn, she oened her mouth to take it, but then rubbed the side of her mouth with her claw and turned away. i can't see anything wrong with her mouth, she takes an iterest in me when i talk to her, she's not losing weight, i'm thinking mebbee it's because i'm waiting on a larger tank for her, soo she's not using any energy,therefore, not hungry, any comments?

Start your own thread and post a detailed description of your current setup (with pictures if possible).
