Allie, being how turtles love to squeeze into place's make sure you have no tight spots. Filter lines , anything. They will even dig something up just to see if anything under there and make something fall. Check for safety , you don't want this little guy get caught under or in something and drown.
Once he associates you with food it will get better , always begging. Don't give in to that , better to under feed than over feed ! Then down the road a trust will build. They are great pets/ children. Piggley and I have a great relationship , took time , patients and paid off. Be a good observer he will tell you what he wants and need. Piggley even tells me how to remodel his tank. When I moved the airline he dug it up , back and forth until he said that's better. Guess I had it to close to his underwater sleeping area. Since then he never dug it up. It's his home he's the boss !
