@ Zarrurer12 try, like feeding the fish are small, small fish, etc. Turtles live in the love of food, because that is what they eat in nature

@ ISkylerI What habitat that is at the moment?

@ JonteBadassNewEra All reptiles grow throughout their lives, LOL, all the turtles will eventually get very large, galopagous not great, but enough to get the new habitats. I would try to match the type of housing you will find more fun to give, that is, you like small gardens, aquariums inside =] research! Good luck with your tortoise!

@ JonteBadassNewEra I would suggest that we take into account the need for turtle habitat first =] Unlike the video, I can say with certainty that there is no such thing as a “little baby sea turtles’ only in the more stringent requirements if you first time parents turtle, I would recommend reading (Liz Palika my fav author for reptiles

@ AmStErgal123 If there is no blood, and only the top layer. . . Remember that the shell grows from the bottom up and takes a long time to heal. . . But if they say it’s becoming worse than it is obviously not cured.

# 2 @ AmStErgal123 Could he or she was injured? # 3 of metabolic bone disease, calcium defiency. Whether it happens slowly or outside it? If the deposit had been unwell for a long time may be the limit. Does he / she UVA / UVB bulb? Lee received vitamin A supplementation and calcium in the diet? Even so, if they had not seen in the past. . . Now may be the cause of problems.

@ AmStErgal123 I am not a veterinarian, but. . . # 1 Shell Rot, infection case, most creams only improve one aspect shells, antibiotics, or yellow yellow do. You see the blood? That is the question that really shows the seriousness. Lee Server for suppression of the skin, or only superficial layers? If he gets into the bloodstream through the injectable antibiotics may be necessary.

@ AmStErgal123 find a good vet! This could have serious consequences. . . but make sure they know what they do, they almost all take money, and her turtle, and I swear, they know what they are doing. . . And then consider them harmful. .
