excuse me, someone once told me that if you keep on feeding your pet turtle with those commercial diet pellets, your turtle will get a shell thats looks like a pyramid .
Is that true?Could it be a good sign? idk thanx 2 whoever answers this.
he can get way
what do soft shell eat i just got one
kk =) I have always given him that =D and plan to keep doing so.
no as long if the aqautic turtles have to live in a tank they need fresh water
yeah it would be fine your welcome and i hope u have fun with your turtle ;p
okay =) would putting up a small (like a foot tall) fence around the pond keep him safe. Of course I would make sure he had rocks to sun bathe on in the middle of it =) I wouldn’t want him to explore my Backyard too much and end up far away from the water if he needed it. Thanks for the tips.
he can live in the pond but the risks are about other animals attacking the pond should be big and must have lots of rocks to hide!!
Can a pet turtle live in a pond in my backyard instead of an aqurium? He’s starting to get too big for the Tanks I have and I think he might enjoy the space of a small pond. Any risks in it that I should be aware of?
you don’t have to be such a jerk!
as much as she can eat.
that’s what i do with mine, and they’re huge.
you shouldnt have wild turtles az pets
if you want a turtle go buy one
does it work with wild turtles
Yes, you can give them crickets. Baby turtles are highly carnivorous and should glady take them
You should feed as much food that will fill up her neck/head
nice man i use the same on my turtle i like the select tetra i dont like usein feeders aswell
i dont know how much pellets should i feed my turtle its an adult female red-eared slider about 10-11 inches long can you tell me how much should i feed her?
naw as long as u buy them at a pet store or something but always make sure, i give mine (everyday) i put some pelletes baby dried shrimp, and some other food that haes everything and is “growth formula” but idk i just know they like it , just give them vaeirty
My turtles are about 1-2 months old, is feeding them crickets okay?? Do i run a high risk of parasite if i feed them crickets?? The crickets i buy are from a petco/pet club
yeah, we’ve had him for about… well since November. He is starting to eat the pellets now. Im starting to feed him worms that I find outside (I was them first). We also have guppies… and when one dies, we feed it to him. Thanks.
how long do you have this turtle? some turtles need to get used to their new owners and food… etc.
it would probably change after 1 or 2 months…
um my bigger sister take grass or plants and feed them
what i did is add more waterso he/she can swim to the food
how far does the light have to be from the basking area?
I have a video of her on my account. Her temp is in the range for her type of species which is 65-90 degrees. I keep her water in the high 70′s to low 80′s.
