[QUOTE="kai, post: 2277013, member: 217697"] I've had my two little painted turtles since February when I rescued them from a cold snap, once they started eating they were veracious in their appetite. But as of yesterday the runt of the two has stopped eating, she just kinda floated around the tank and seems to sleep a lot. The larger is still eating and swimming around just fine, so I am doubting its an environmental factor because if it was they should both be off. I took her out of the tank, and her eye look clear, shells hard, and no runny rose either. Any ideas on what I can try to spur on her appetite or change? thanks! extra info 40gal tank tall canister filter a few feeder fish for food and tank mates Glass stones in the bottom UVB/UVA bllub that's on for few hours each day Diet of pellets, turtles sticks, blood worms, and the occasional fish [/QUOTE]
