20 Jan 2022:
"My two kids are not interested in these two sliders," the father told me. "One of them floated on the water motionless---not swimming. I wanted to check them as Chinese New Year will be on 1 February. It will not be auspicious to have deaths in the pets!"
1. Weight. The two sliders are not thriving as they should be bigger in size at 6 months.
2. Shell rot. The shell have white spots which the owner tried to treat with a "fungus and bacteria spray" by purchasing a bottle from the pet shop.
3. No basking space. Submerged in water for 24 hours usually.4. Heating lamp over the water is of no use as the sliders need to dry up on a platform. Inpatient treatment for a few days.
As at 23 Jan 2022, the sliders were active and eating. The shell rot was much less. The owner took them home for recuperation.
