Feeding a "special" turtle (Chinemys Reevesi)

This turtle, unlike its more ordinary friend, cannot swim too well. Why? nobody knows, but it's extremely hilarious.

@dennis286 have you actually read the previous comments?

There's obviously something wrong with him, you should also have land for him to walk on, not all turtles like living in the water :x

@DemonicSpoon it has some land to walk on, don't worry, I'm not a newbie when it comes to turtles. Due to its size there is not much we can do about its condition but it's still alive, eating and getting a little better every day. it even started to dive from time to time.

@mazoku144 I guess I should have done more research. I found a page that said that very small turtles sometimes can't swim too deep because they aren't heavy enough. But some pages said it -could- be pneumonia. I would say just keep an eye on it and sorry to jump too quick. :) It's probably just that he's not very heavy since you said he was getting better lol

@DemonicSpoon I think there is something wrong with it, its eyes are a bit retracted so I know it's good that you've noticed that it shouldn't be like this. Nevertheless it's still picky about food, damn brat.

Chinemys Reevesi only need 2 inches of water, they are not good swimmers, they can learn to dive with time but less water is better for them. you can feed it small pieces of fish outside the water using pincers.
