“Tweaking” A Turtles Diet

Dr. Gary Weitzman of the San Diego Humane Society and Katrina Smith of the Mid-Atlantic Turtle and Tortoise Society help the companion of a Red Eared Slider adjust its feeding routine. Weitzman also counsels a woman who has a sightless cat. And the family of an English Bull Terrier wants to know if a recent move to a new home has something to do with the canine’s lack of appetite and energy.

Most turtles that spend most of their lives on land have their eyes looking down at objects in front of them. Some aquatic turtles, such as snapping turtles and soft-shelled turtles, have eyes closer to the top of the head. -Douglas Andrew
