Comment on My turtle is lazy, what do I do about it?

How big is the enclosure? Reptiles can behave like this when they feel overcrowded. Box turtles are pretty territorial in the wild. The female might feel uncomfortable with the male around constantly. I’d be curious what would happen if you divided the enclosure up so they can’t interact

That’s a tricky one. The enclosure is 6 square feet which would be small for two, but they both fell into a funk when I separated them and refused to eat for nearly a month.
