| Hi, thanks for asking. I do found a VET and sent him there for treatment, unfortunately it was too late, he died. :cry: It was my carelessness that cause his death. I have read books and searched the internet, I found out that it's not easy too keep terrapin or any other kinds of reptiles, you gotta know them before thinking to keep them. I have two new baby terrapins now, it is a lot of work in taking care of them. But hey, once you've fell in love with this little fellas, I don't think anything will stop you from keeping them, right? :D |

| So you got 2 new one? I assuming it is red eared sliders. So generally speaking, these terrapins are a bit more cannivourous when there are young but tend to be more herbivorous when there are adult. A common illness among red ear slider is hypovitaminosis A (lack of Vitamin A). The signs for hypovitaminosis A will be swollen eyes with white mucus at it and some respiratory noise. Try to offer foods rich in vitamin A such as carrots, papaya and sweet potatoes. Ok good luck with your new lots!!! |

| Yeah, graduate last year. Now working with wildlife. Special interest in birds and big cats. Still learning a lot from my seniors on wildlife medicine especially reptiles in which the approach could be different. |
