My Pakku is acting strange :(

Alright I guess I'll clean out the little critter keeper I have laying around and do feedings in there.

The youngsters don't always go to bed when they are supposed too so like Mike said no worries yet. He may have to poop and is soaking to try and go. His right side does not look full though so he could also just be thirsty. You can change his water and place warm water in and then place him back in the dish. If he has to poop this will help a lot more than cool water.

Warm not hot.

Keep us posted.

Alright, it's already 4pm here and I went back to check on him and he was still in the water... I took him out put in some warm spring water and put him back in. He's been in there for about 5 mins so lets see if he lets out a poop. Funny thing is though, as long as I've had him, he has never gone in the water, he always pooped in his substrate.

Also his substrate looks really dry in that picture. Its supposed to be heavily damp/moist. That could explain his discomfort.

Yeah it was really soaking wet at first just dried up because I have only been misting the tank walls. I'll put some spring in his substrate. Thanks.

Okay I moistened up about 80% of his substrate with spring water just now. I left a small side on the far side of his water dish because I read that you should keep a "dry" side also.

EDIT: here's a pic of how we're looking right now. He seems to be just chillin on top of the substrate now and hasn't moved to his dish.

Its not that you're supposed to have a dry side. You're supposed to have a warm and cool side. The cool side will naturally be more moist because there is less heat there to dry it up. All of the substrate should be moist, but not muddy. They like moist soil. Keep a close eye on him. Sometimes even the babies will not eat for a day or 2, but still offer food incase he gets hungry.

Don't you have a UTH?
