[hanley2458]

were do u buy the treats

[Skipper4today]

I've heard somewhere that females develop more muscular jaws then males making them able to crush the shell of the snail. Males don't not develop the muscular jaws so they stick to eating insects instead. Is this true?

[ClassyTurtles]

@Skipper4today yes, with map turtles, but the snails that I used were soo tiny that any of my turtles could have easily crushed it, even a baby. Some snails can get HUGE though...

[Skipper4today]

@ClassyTurtles Every 3 days I give my turtle a thawed shrimp. He just loves em. They are small. One would be about the size of his head.

[DonnyANDCheeks]

for protein i feed my turtles small mealworms :) they luv em!

[jwhyhalo456]

For how long can you expect a baby turtle( Red Eared Slider ) to not eat after getting it?

[DewleafWolf]

@jwhyhalo456 I got mine unexpectedly for free, three of them, and when I did two of them were hatchlings that were still feeding off the protein from their shell. If you are sure that yours are old enough to eat food, but it isn't, it may be stressed in its new home. Your turtle should only take one week or less to become accustomed to its enviroment. Let it get comfortable and it should eat the food. If you get too worried, talk to a local exotic pet veterinarian. :) Hope I helped.

[jwhyhalo456]

@DewleafWolf Thanks, you have, very much. :) Anyway now he seems to be eating ok, he just has to be alone. ^^

[ClassyTurtles]

@ipukerainbowzbob yes

[turtlesbest]

My turtles have always eaten snails because they usually get in my tank when I get feeder fish and the snails reproduce quickly.

[BruninhoTheLegend]

nice to see someone who love turtles very much and giving them all best food and care ;)

[MonsterUnderneath]

[thatfishbreeder]

Great video bud! 

[NerdFlavoredCondom]

Hey quick question, I got a algae problem. I cleaned the entire tank full emptied but the algae came back like 3 days later. What should I do?

[thatfishbreeder]

@NerdFlavoredCondom

Reduce lighting.... oh and algae starts from overhightened levels of nitrates. To reduce this, try cleaning the tank more often OR reduce food fed so that NONE can go to waste. Always be sure to monitor the animal so that it is eating ALL of its food. HOPE THIS HELPS. Oh and btw, u have a very um....intersting username :P

[NerdFlavoredCondom]

@thatfishbreeder X3 Thanks

[idkwht2name]

try earthworms once in a while...some good raw protein can never hurt

[ClassyTurtles]

@idkwht2name I do sometimes feed that, but my turtles just arent into them, they just loveee the hikari products.

[ducktapedude43]

shouldnt u let them sit for like five seconds in the water ? because its harde for them to " chew" i heard

[ClassyTurtles]

@ducktapedude43 I let them thaw first

[ducktapedude43]

@ClassyTurtles oh my bad lol



[Ryzanz]

[ClassyTurtles]
