Head and front legs wont come out of the shell

We just got a 2nd baby slider turtle for my daughter. The 1st one is about 1 year old. They've been together for 24 hours. The baby wont stick its head or front legs out of the shell, just the back ones. Do you think it's in shock from the new environment?

You are probably right. The new one is probably just adjusting to a new environment. Keep an eye on them to be sure the youngest one is safe.
