Finally it's Spring! The Turtle made it through our deep freezes unscathed.
Most things continue the same. The main sign has been that he just seems more tired.
He's been eating and pooping, he still walks around a bit and will find a spot and stay put,
sometimes after his bath he'll just stay where I place him till it's time to eat again.
Feeding often takes more time lately, he has gotten unpredictable in his pickiness.
Even if I give him what he gobbled down at the last feeding, he's just as likely to turn his beak up at it,
and I have to make him a second choice meal.
He seems to know now when it's medication time, and won't like me touching his legs at all,
usually he doesn't mind, but the actual injection itself doesn't seem to bother him once it's done.
We're still in long term care mode, he generally seems comfortable, but less active.
I'll keep an lookout to see if he perks up as the season progresses.
Thanks to all his friends here for keeping him in your thoughts!
