Franklins also seemed to really like hangin outside in his pool !! And he loved getting exercise on the grass
That's sad :-( I'm sorry for ur loss!! So sad how people treat these cool creatures !Don't buy from turtle shack or turtle sale.com either because I bought 3 baby red eared sliders and they all died in 9 days. They had a sale (buy 1 get 2 free). At first I didn't know that turtle sale had lots of bad reviews. I have to be really careful now because most websites rip you off or trick you some way. I am really sorry. At least he's in a better place now.
Don't beat yourself up, you may have made some mistakes but I don't think you actually killed your turtle. He was probably sick before you got him and could not handle the stress of a new situation. Take some time, do some research, decide what species you would like to get and then find a reputable place to get it, also rescues are good place. This site has some great information and kind people that will answer your questions. I have a Russian tortoise and a three toed box turtle and I love them both, and I have made mistakes with both. But I continue to research and learn and do the best I can for them. So hang in there and keep us posted on your new turtle when you get him.The water only came up to the bottom of his shell... Whats the best possible way to keep a turtle ?! I feel so bad ! I killed my turtle :-( omg so so sorry franklin !
