Yeah me too, I just don't understand, was the turtle sick in the pet store or was it somehow me? I had all the lights, basking spots, artificial plants and even 2 Guppies, this is I find the most mysterious death.. Thanks for sticking with me Steve and giving me all the advice, Murdle was buried around 1 o'clock next to the turtle that died from the post "stiff turtle" I really hope it's rare that people's turtle die for no reason and show symptoms of not eating or sonething for no reason, no one should go through that, no turtle should die a mysterious death...
By the way, when baby turtles get antibiotics for anything serious, they really have a 50/50 chance of living right? That's what I hate, when they are getting vet care, it's just hope even in the hand of Docters, for my vet that I paid for the turtle in the post "stiff turtle" ( I named her sunshine ) I paid the vet $200, and I paid the vet $260 total for eye drops and special food, but it turns out I paid $260 to watch my turtle die. 2-3 days of stiffness then death, why? Whyyyy?
Once again, thanks for sticking with me Steve, I won't get another turtle for a while now, so I'll just help others in the forum if they have problems with a stiff turtle after the vet or metabolic bone desiease..
Fish keeper & Turtle know it all... Ish
