Star thinks its a turtle

Jim_staffs · 15-11-2012, 04:01 PM

I Moved my 3 Stars into there new bigger table this week and 2 of them love it, are very active out all day having an explore, however 1 has decided it wants to be a turtle and spends all day sat in the water bowl, if i take it out it just walks back over and gets in.

should i be concerned about this behavior i don't want it getting ill from sitting in water all day and even sleeping in there.

hmm you could try giving him a bath then while he's in there move the water dish to another location and try that. it could be that it feels safe in there or something it is a weird one lol
