Question
i found my turtle upside down and she hasn't moved. what do i do?? HELP PLEASE!

Answer
Put it right side up in a place it likes. Being upside down for a while should not hurt it, but if it turned upside down because of an injury or illness, it might not be good news.

If you are afraid it is dead, pull on a hind leg gently. If the turtle is alive it will resist your pulling, them pull it back in.
