Cool!

So, maybe you have more experience than me with turtles...

I've got a question: I've got a red-ear slider (correct name?)

She hasn't been eating lately... I have a 40W incendescent bulb for reptiles... I don't think that the bulb provides enough UV, so for that reason, I've been placing her like for 1 hour ever day under the sun in a small Ziplock container... I place a CD case over the container so she can have a shadow if she wants...

Today, although lethargic, she did move quite a bit. After that, I placed her back in her aquarium... and, for some unexplained reason, I think she's dead.

Her head is stuck out, and she doesn't move/respond. She's small, like 2 inches at most. I don't think she's hibernating (now that we're in winter) because where I live, the lowest that temps go is about 70F... maybe 60 F later in December.

My question is: How do you feed yours? Do you place the food on the same aquarium?

I've been trying to 'train' her to eat... every day, @ that same hour, I put her in the Ziplock container, a little bit of water, and place food in there... but I don't see her eating. Will she learn that when I do that it's 'eating time'?

How do you feed her?

Thanks Star... I'm trully sorry to think this, but I think that she's going to bite the dust.
