Hello All, I am new to this group but I have had pet turtles for about a year now. Recently I set up a tank at work with two DB babies. They were doing great for about a month but recently one of them has been acting really wierd; and appears to be sick. His symptoms include extended sunning time, not eating, and most noticibly swimming in tight circles over and over again. The extended sunning time could be nothing, but the lack of eating and the wierd swimming pattern is something I have never encountered before. I thought he may have broken a leg somehow but both hind legs appear to kick violently when he is doing the circle-swim. Other symptoms include swelling of the eyes, which I have been treating with turtle eye drops in his eyes and on his food. If any one has any clue as to what may be going on here please post a message or send an email to ingsy@…. Thansk in advance for all your help. Hopefully he will eat today. Cheers,
