Natural inborn instincts I would suspect.
Sea Turtles hatch lings find their way to the ocean, by heading towards the brightest horizon.
I believe the turtle floats-being guided by his legs...however he may dive and remain stationary on the bottom of the water he is in for a proscribed amount of time Sure they can swim but nowhere near as good as an aquatic turtle so they avoid fast moving bodies of water and usually will not venture in deeper than the height of their shell - they seem to know they can be swept away. Often when they are sick they will seek water to soak in and often will die soaking in the water.
Your turtle will be in the water not moving a single bit.It wont move for days wich is why you need to feed it.
Put the turtle into water and see how much water it displaces. And of course, remove the turtle from the water when you're done.
If your turtle is a water turtle it should.
Land Turtle because a sea turtle can breathe under water and a land turtle can not breathe under water. So similar to the sea turtle is a land turtle.
A turtle uses water so they can get food and rest there
i think a baby turtle should try to hide because he or her might be too small to go in the water and the reason they can't go in is because some baby turtle's know how to swim but some baby turtle's don't know how to swim.
Did you know that turtles can live up to to three WHOLE years without food or water?!
No. the ammonia levels for fish water are different than in turtle water and are meant for larger quantities of moving water. To suit the habitat need of a turtle yo should find the correct turtle treatment.
Put a variety of food items in its aquarium. If he does not eat he is not comfortable, in this case change his environment. If it is STILL not eating, seek veterinarian help.

It's a sign of pneomia get medical help ASAP. This could be fatal if not treated in the early stages! Is your turtle eating all his or her foods? Is he or she swimming lopsided? Put the turtle in a separate tank and seek immediate medical care. Raise the water temperature and pray he or she lives.
