 Over active?

my box turtle (of 5 years cant remember what kind he is, not colorful at all and kind of small) suddenly is so FULL of energy and sooo hungry!
he also has been in and out of his pool more times in a day than i have ever seen. i tried to make the tank more humid and change his diet even more every day thinking it was a nutrition/hydration problem but he is still the same.
he looks healthy and happy but im just worried because in almost 5 years he has never been this active.
btw he is really a girl but i only found out after 2 years so i had to keep with the ’him’ business

any ideas?

thanks!

Hi, thats a good thing that she is so active! Turtles and tortoises should be active.

That is similar to my old boxie who we got given, she was never so active but sometimes she’d have these spurts to jsut go mad and eat like a pig and run around like mad! but its good.

Nothing is so wrong i dont think.
