Hi!
Taz is about 1.5 years old. Roughly 6 inches in length. She is kept in a long 40 gallon tank with a warm end and cool end. The warm end with the heat lamp is about 87 degrees and the cool end is around 70 degrees. I have been soaking her in warm water twice a week for about 30 minutes. She gets fed a wide range of lettuces and occasionally will get a little pumpkin or a tomato.
After coming back from Christmas break, she started eating less and now I haven't seen her eat in about 3 days. I didn't think too much of it after the first day because she was still awake. But now she is awake and barely moving. After pestering her to move, she did but she is not using her front right leg. This is causing her to move in circles. About an hour ago she started moving around but now she is just pushing herself around with her back legs.
I beginning to get very worried and I am wondering if anyone knew what was going on or advice on what to do.
