lost a turtle last night. we had three, we got them right after christmas, and they are adorable. they were pretty shy when we first introduced them to their new home. we expected them to not eat for up to a week, then two of them started coming out. the third (mo) never did. spanky and moonunit (the other two) BEG for food, i walk up and they are almost out of the water begging. they can be pretty jumpy, but they certainly eat, and fight each other for food. but not mo. he was usually perched in a plant and his food would sit there, untouched, in front of his face. they others got a little bigger (they are all about the size of a quarter when we got them) but mo stayed the same. he just wouldnt eat! i couldnt make him eat. i feel horrible, maybe he was sick to begin with. we buried him in the front yard. poor turtle.
