Hi guys,
We have had our Horsfeld (Norma) for a couple of years and she is thriving However this week we have seen some changes in her behaviour and I wondered if anyone could shed some light on this.
She has been scratching her shell on anything she can and she has been spending long periods of time with her chin in the water! She often sits in the water and this helps her 'go' but in the last few days her back end is on one of the rocks and her chin is sat in the water?
We have talked tot he chidlren a about her and have come up with her being lonely, it being spring, wanting a mate ... but havent found any confirming information on the web.
She appears a little 'sad' but this may be us reading too much into it!
Any help would be appreciated
