Hello. I am extremely worried about Crash and Crush. They may be critically ill or may have even passed away. However, it can actually be quite difficult to determine accurately if a turtle has died without special equipment to detect a heart beat. Therefore, I’d urge you to take them to your local veterinarian for an examination. They can help provide emergency care or determine if they have indeed passed away. I hope Crash and Crush can be helped.
