Question by question time lol: turtle hibernating or dead?
ok so i rescued five turtles from a pond about 2 months ago and they have been so cold they couldnt even barely swim so i took them home and set up a tank 2.5ft by 2.5 wide and they had been all fine ( i didnt have a heater just a filter and basking spot …..
and today i came to the tank and the largest turtle (appears about 3-5years old ) and she was just on the bottom of the tank searching dead so i got her out and i feel she’s dead but i dont want to do something till i no for definate ..so does it sound like a dead turtle or not …her physique is “flopping” out the shell and 1 eye’s closed fully and the other half open…
on the bottom of the shell it appear pink ( i have by no means noticed that on a turtle ?) and its a map turtle (water) and please if you dont no if its dead or not please dont give an answer unless you no what your talking is true /….thanks everyone
oh and please dont say its my fault ..i do no how to care “properly” for turtles and i have performed for about four years now …i have four ybs and cumberland sliders in an 8ft tank …a musk in a 4ft and then this tank that the rescude turtle was in (and dont say how i need to of had a heater and all that due to the fact i couldnt afford it and the turtles have been lucky i even discovered them or they would all be dead if i left them in the pond …
oh and what do you do with a dead turtle if its dead ?
i have by no means had a dead turtle before
sorry for all the questions and stuff …i do no alot about turtles but not hibana

Nicely if you had been choosing her up to see if she was alive, if she was asleep surely she would have woken up so she possibly is dead?
When one of our pets die we put them in like a small box and bury them in our garden and place loads of flowers about it to remember exactly where they had been. You can constantly cremate the turtle since it gets put in a truly great box and you can keep it around the house and stuff. Sorry to hear about the turtle
Give your answer to this question beneath!
