Hi I have 2 diamondback terrapins . One is 2 years old and one is 1 year old. The older turtle recently bit the little one on the foot. He never did this before. THe little turtle is sick now. He just sleeps and doesn’t eat. I seperated them and now I do not know what to do?? Please help?????? Jackie
Aggression-induced stress can be fatal so you want to make the environment as stress-free as possible to the 1 yr. old. Perhaps you should remove the 2 yr. old and keep the younger one in its original environment. Increasing the temperature of its environment to ~82F might also help, as well as providing some live animals to jump start its appetite again. Feeder guppies and ghost shrimp are good choices. All the best and keep us posted. -Chun — In diamondbackterrapins@yahoogroups.com, “molecal”
