    Default Injured turtle found what do i do?

    i found him in my tank today without one of his legs. to possibilities: one snapping turtle ate it, two a rock crushed his leg. oh and by the way my snapping turtle loves to push over rocks and i constantly have to rescue my turtles from drowning. it may have gotten stuck and his leg was sticking out so bowser took a nip and got his leg.

    Why would you put regular turtles in a tank with a snapping turtle???
    That's just irresponsible and asking for a dead turtle.

    First off, you need to put them in separate tanks!
    Second, if he's still alive, take him to a vet. You shouldn't be keeping animals if you're going to house them together with something that could easily kill them.

    The snapping turtle probably bit it off... Poor guy
    No offense, but that wasn't very smart keeping an animal that moves around a lot with an ambush predator capable of taking off someone's finger! Do some research next time you decide to care for an animal..
    All you can do now is take your turtle to the vet and hope for the best
