Question
i have 2 map turtles one is quite lively and the other seems to be ill it wont eat and its just laying on the rocks and sleeping could u give me some advice on what i could do to help it.they are both still quite young and i havent had them that long

Answer
One might be inherently weaker or less likely to thrive, or infested with parasites, or injured.

I'm afraid I can't offer a lot of help in this situation. You might try a turtle forum, such as http://www.turtleforum.com/forum/upload/index.php? and see what they think.

Otherwise, I'd have to suggest seeing a vet.
