Well, at least you are thorough.

One of the turtles has a respiratory infection and may not make it.

Sorry to hear that Toad. Um, how exactly does a turtle get a respiratory infection... and how do you know?

Well, of the two turtles, one of them has grown at a tremendous rate, really succeeding, and the other just never took off. Fed poorly, would only eat dried shrimp and not the standard food pellets. Saturday we put them into a new aquarium but little one seemed to not be taking to it. She swam on the surface instead of diving. It turns out that's a bad sign. Then she started making this sort of cough or gasp movement which is a sign of a respiratory problem. She may have had it for quite some time.

Is it treatable? Can you take turtles to the Vee Ee Tee?

In theory, I think, you can put antibiotics into their water... in actual practice, there are no vets interested in seeing a baby turtle in 24 hours within about an hour's drive.

Aw, poor little turtle, hope she pulls through it.
![]() Spike eats too much, to the point that I'm concerned. He begs noisily and relentlessly every couple of hours for food, was literally jumping on spencer's face at 11pm last night demanding to be fed. I had been trying to put him off a few hours... He eats WAY more than dennis. But he still won't touch the dry food.

Kittens are supposed to eat more than adult cats. It says so on my cat food.

One year I got 2 green anole lizards for my bday, the female started acting sick and staying brown all the time (anole lizards change color based on mood, temp and camouflage). I tried separating her from the male. No change until she died, two weeks after I got them. I was so upset and crying so hard, one of my siblings distracted me and got me out of the room, then the other sibling moved her. When I came back in they were all "Look she's still alive, she moved!" I wasn't fooled though, there was one of her feeding crickets standing on her head. It was nice they were trying though. My brother made her a little wooden coffin and burned the image of a lizard on top.

Does it sat they're supposed to climb your legs and jump on the stove every time you try to cook anything? Are they supposed to stick their head in your mouth trying to go after whatever you just ate?
