a male n a female. i named them odie n elle.
elle is very timid, always hiding under the bridge. while odie is the active one.
always climbs the bridge, and play around.
but since yesterday, i noticed odie slept the whole time.
his eyes were closed from yesterday night, until this morning.
he was not active as usual. both elle n odie did not eat, i guess cuz their food was still there this morning.
i think he's sick but i really really dont know what to do.
is there any vet near shah alam that can treat turtles?
plz plz plz plz help me!!!!!!
btw, is it true that if we always touch them, they'll die?

how are your terrapins doing?
since this post was 2 years ago, if they survived means that you have figured a way out to take care of them. if not, & u r planning to buy some new baby terrapins, my advice:
they r babies, dont put too much water in the tank, they will drown (serious)
if they dont eat, put them somewhere warmer, beside windows where they can get direct sunlight, but monitor them, if not they got sun burn & die (yes, they r babies & they r fragile)
try feeding small tiny pieces of fish meat. it is their natural diet. it will open up their appetite
