They don't need too much water, they must have a rock or summat so that they can get out of the water or they can drown.

Also they stink to high heaven unless the bowl/tank is cleaned out every few days.

In an emergency feed it a few garden worms or even goldfish food until you can get to the pet shop.

had the official reclean of terrapin tank for spring now, reheated the water, taken temp etc. only problem is they are supposed to lose 1/3 rd of their weight during hibernation, this fvcker grew!!!! just been handling him for the first time in four months, I swear you would never win an arm wrestle with this fella. noooo: He is huuuuuuuuuge!!!! cant afford to keep upgrading tanks/cages etc. why cant they all just stay babies.

this is why i dont have kids.

If it was dead it wouldn't grow !

Stop feeding it and then preserve it when it dies. You would hardly be able to tell the difference  rubschin:

Just cleaned him out. he swallowed a whole slice of bacon while he was in his baby tank. I made Apey babysit, he was frightened. He has shed some scales during winter, just realised the size of one scale is actually how big his whole body was when the cat spat him out on the kitchen floor.  eeek:

Get BM to 3D print pipe attachments you can fix to the intake and outlet parts of the filter then you can have the filter mounted outside of Turtlezilla's tank.
