Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I have a year old red eared slider and we got along well. He would chase my finger, try to bite it, swim to the tank when he see's me, etc. But today i put my finger in front of Jay and he got scared.. he would swim up and then swim away quickly. He's also acting scared when i show him his food, when before, he would swim up and get excited. He's also fluttering his hands at me. Why is he scared of me all of a sudden.. why is he being like this? Any advice is greatly appreciated. :mrgreen:

Not sure of why there would be a sudden change. Could just something that temporarily spooked him. I’d keep an eye out for any other changes.
