Res turtle , started stretching under water
My turtle (5y 2m) , he stopped eating two days back , this is now the third day. He now lays under water stretched out like this with his eyes closed , he reacts to me walking past but doesn't move for food or basking.
I had issues with the heater so it was off for awhile. But the first week of the month I kept the temp back on 25°C . I have now started keeping in a dry tub with the heat lamp for a few minutes and he is responding positively trying to get under it. I do this a few times and then keep him on his basking platform to let him enter the water when he's ready as always and he does go in after awhile.
Please any suggestions would be helpful. :)
(P.S. I have reduced the tank's water level thinking it might be easier to breathe because he lays tired....and I'm just slightly paranoid he might drown..not sure if that's a thing)
