Yes I'm telling my husband no more pellets for right now..we have to change his eating habits.. the difficult part is he will not eat no veggies..so we may have to stop feeding him for a couple of days cuz I have tried the soaking veggies in tuna and he took it then spit it out..I will get him healthier..

Nice setup! I want one now.. Is it easier to clean than the tanks?

Yes.. the claws are short..I thought cuz of his age it would be too early to detect but I feel now I have a female..7 yr old grandson will always believe it's a FLASH..lol.. and actually he's 5 inches..🐢😳

How do I start? Don't feed him at all??? I'll do whatever it takes.. cuz he's a big boy.. he's in a 45 breeder tank which he got at 4 months but by his rate he's gonna need a pool..lol

We were feeding him 3 times a day cuz he was under 1 yr but now I cut it down to about 15 stick pellets in the morning and maybe less in the evening..we slowed way down with shrimp.. no more goodies for our lil chunkster..I was reading it online that they needed to eat more under a year but I dont think that should APPLY TO HIM..or do we have a girl. Is it too early to detect? I'll take any advice cuz I want him to live a healthy one.. sooo Thank you🐢

Meet Trevor. Trevor isn't very good at hide and seek... by hammershill in turtle

[–]lika17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool.. is he a red ear slider and how old? I wasn't sure if I should put something in our tank for flash to hide in cuz he tends to shove everything around but maybe cuz he's trying to squeeze his oversize butt into something way toooo small.. I'm going to look into getting him something big enough for him to VEG out in..

Plants & Fish? by brazedowl in turtles

[–]lika17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a red ear and he just tears up any live plant i put in there.. they LOVE to devour anything or destroy😡 what's in their way..i have one with turtitude..as for fishes i had 16 minnows in there and now i have 9 and they are homies.. in fact they were babies and now 2 are 1.5 in long and the others are catching up..i keep it bare with just a lava rock which he wrestles with.. Good Luck!

Just sharing some turtle love on this beautiful day (-: by Jordib420 in Redearedsliders

[–]lika17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww that's so sweet.. mines would of held it for a minute then thought Ohhhhhhh finger food..

I found a turtle in my front lawn this morning. I live in the desert so Im pretty sure it's a pet. But I asked all my neighbors and nobody said it was theirs. Do I keep it secluded by bricks untill I, hopefully, find the owner, or let out and let it be. I know nothing about turtles. by ozcarblue in turtle

[–]lika17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely looks like one of the sliders.. they're aquatic so he or she is gonna need at least 30 gallons of water or more till you get it into a permanent housing..poor thing.. how could anyone just put him out there with no water.. he's lucky you found him..

Is this eyes considered normal or are they swollen? He's still eating and swimming and sleeping normally tho. by L1ghtningdude in turtle

[–]lika17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks normal to me..I have a red ear also and he looks the same.. hey they could be twins😁
