General Care Discussion :: Why the turtle trying to bite the water?

[k9ck024]

It happen recently. Whenever my turtle is on the platform, it always bite the water and makes bubbles. The water level is above the platform

He might just be seeing something there. Is this the only time he does it?

[k9ck024]

No he does it many times throughout the day. Feed the turtle and still does it.

[steve]

Where are the bubbles coming from?

[k9ck024]

Everytime when it bites the water it makes the bubbles

[steve]

It's probably nothing. Behavioral changes come and go.

Here's the picture. It does this everyday

[Ryano]

Looks like he may be trying to bite the tape

[steve]

Do you have a video of this?

[devilduck]

Is he trying to eat the blue tape? Try removing it.

[Kozakura]

Mine do this all the time. Not at anything in particular. I think maybe they're just entertaining themselves.

[Kansasslider]

I was thinking blue tape also.

Here's the video. I removed the blue tape and I don't think it has anything to do with it

[steve]

It sort of looks like he's going for some bubbles in the surface. Is the water agitated?

[k9ck024]

No the water is calm but it does have very little bubbles (I mean very little)
