Woke up to death in the family

[kevinfleming21]

This morning I wake up, only to find my little baby snapper dead. I have no clue what happened to him. Last night he was eating like a champ and messing with me. The water is changed everyday for freshness, and the depth was only enough to cover his shell. I cannot think of what could have happened. RIP Lebowski.............

Sorry to hear this. How old was it? Some newborn turtles can be fragile but once they pass the year old mark they're usually bulletproof.

he was very young. I got him at the size of a nickel and he had grown to about the size or a quarter. It is just puzzling to me. I checked him out everyday to make sure he was looking healthy and always made sure he had a great diet.

You could always get another one when you figure the cause of this poor guy's death.
