An 8-year-old terrapin has swollen eyelids - traumatic injury?

The bigger terrapin, housed in a tank, separated by a fence with holes, was not active for 3-4 days. Now, he is active. The smaller one is not active.

Swollen eyelids occur recently. Diet may be deficient in Vitamin A.

The smaller one will be dominant and aggressive and fought for space in a new bigger tank. Territorial behaviour is present in all animals and pets when housed together with one aggressive one biting the other.
