Thanks for the quick reply. Here are the answers to the questions:
Rocky is approx. 2.5 inches long - 2 inches wide, We've had him 6 months, H2O temp is 83, no heater, their habitat is in a 10 gal. tank, 1/2 filled with H2O, floored with pebbles and rock, with a turtle dock, their tank is directly in front of a big window in a room that's relatively low in activity, there is a H2O filteration, no UVB light (but do take them out to bask 1x week), use H2O conditioner, clean out tank regularly (3x month, now that I have the filter), feeding on Nutrain Max Turtle Gammarus Pellets (daily), Whole Krill (weekly), fruit (banana, apple - weekly), hard boiled egg (monthly), green leaf lettuce (2x weekly). These little guys have both been hearty eaters, especially Rocky. I've read through the forums searching for similar situations but didn't come across any other then the turtle with the eye infection who hadn't eaten in 9 days. Tomorrow will be three days since Rocky's eaten.
