So the next day i got keechu this rectangular box in which i put some gravel nd a stone with some plants and one fake turtle as keechu`s friend! ... keechu liked this box much more then the last one and she was enjoying all the water and swimming lightheartedly yaeeii =D
After some days i figured that keechu was blowing some bubbles from her nose and i went to the local petshop i told the guy there about keechu`s condition and he just said to me oh your turtle makes bubble? well thats normal it means your turtle is very happy and enjoying its habitat!! ... So i came back to home and i monitored keechu all day and i wasnt satisfied from what i was told! so i googled a bit and i was shocked to know that my turtle must be feeling cold! so i changed the water a little and replaced it with some hot water and now again i was worried (once again yes) so i changed my turtle`s setup ....
So This was the new setup that i gave keechu .. i put this big white shell and alot of gravel so keechu has dry land and doesnt feel cold and keechu can go inside the shell and hide there so she feels some privacy and i also gave some water to her so she can always have some water to swim (without having the knowledge that RES are aquatic turtles haha silly me) ... so after some days ONCE AGAIN keechu wasnt happy and i was worried ... keechu used to go in water and when she came out she got all the gravel on her body (everywhere) and i was worried that what if she eats the gravel she can die! and she wasnt eating the pellets still :S ... and the worst thing keechu used to stay 24/7 under that big white shell and she never came out first 1-2 days removed the shell but then i put it back thinking i should give keechu some time of her own to relax and get used to the setup ... unfortunately things were still not working out ... keechu went under that shell again! but this time i said to myself let her go she will come out i dont have to force her to come out ... and 4-5 days passed! and she was inside that shell!!!! and the 5th or 6th day i was veryy worried and i removed the shell to see why shez not comming out at all! ... and i picked her in my hand and she wasnt moving OMG! i thought i killed her cuz of my goofness but she moved she had gravel all on her face but she never opened her eyes ... now i said to myself something has to be done im not doing anything right i will kill the poor turtle i dont deserve to keep her but it was still better to keep the turtle this way rather then giving her back to the guy who kept turtle in mud water jeez! ... anywayz i put keechu in water and she opened her eyes after 5 mins or so and looked veryyyyy lethargic... afterall she was just a baby turtle and she hadn`t eaten a single thing since last 5 days and no water!!.... so i just sit on the internet and i googled alooot! i post all the questions i had in my mind on answers.yahoo and i got the feedback the very same day thanks to everyone out there ... and i was knocked out by the turtle requirements! and i discovered that my turtle (RES) was an AQUATIC TURTLE! and OMG! i was keeping my poor keechu as a slave compared to the turtle requirements! ... i prayed to GOD and just said i know i am silly but i never knew anything what to do and there was no one here to guide me as well and i tried to do whatever i can please please save my turtle! i will do anything for my keechu just make her active! make her eat! ...so i changed keechu`s setup again.
Oh well i gave her alot of water now and keechu ate some pellets too (ofcourse she would she never eat any since so many days) and she was a little active now still a turtle who was scared from her keeper :( ... but things were working out now! and i called keechu a MIRACLE TURTLE because keechu survived without eating 5-6 days while she was just a baby and without water (which i was told is impossible for turtles to survive) ....i decided to take keechu out to sun the next day.
