My P. chinensis keeps swimming around furiously and over-energetically as it seems. he hasn't eaten in weeks and it's really starting to freak me out. i give it food and it just turns away/doesn't eat anything (food is thawed frozen bloodworms). it seems like he is frustrated by something, . i recently moved two hours north and i think the move might have stressed him out, but even before the move he wasn't eating. temperature has been right around 68F recently. i read a similar complaint about the same species that it might be mating season (engorged cloaca, more vibrant orange belly) and i think this was true a few weeks ago but he still seems frustrated. help please!?

Do you have a place where he can rest above water? It seems like they try to become terrestrial during breeding season.
 
yes, i have a floating bark thing in the corner he can rest on. he jumps back in the water after a while though.
