How can you tell if your turtle is sick? Some obvious signs of a sick turtle include: * lethargic movement, or just not moving * not eating * changes in shell - luster, growths, deformations * cloudy eyes, or keeps eyes closed all the time * small growths on arms and legs * hearing breathing sounds (normally you cannot hear a turtle breathing)

Answer 3

You can know if you notice that your turtle is acting very strange. Or look at the eyes of your turtle. If your turtle can't open it's eyes and the eyes are red, it means it has eye disease. Touch and feel your turtle's shell. If your turtle's shell is not as hard as it was, or if it is soft, than it means that your turtle has skin disease. These diseases happens if the water of your turtle tank is too dirty. You can cure these diseases by making your turtle eat very well and cleaning the tank. That's the cure. Good luck.
