My turtle Marty was so fat as a baby that she actually cracked her shell! I fed her separatly for a bit and put her in the empty bathtub for a bit each day for more exercise. She is fine now, still pudgy but does very well catching live guppies.
Actually she used to lay eggs and after that, she had little fat bags around her back legs. Pregnancy makes turtles sag, just like human people! There is always a little bit of loose skin leftover from eggs inside the body. Sheba does have a little bit of extra fat as well, but they get that way when they get older. I don't feed Sheba much at all since I don't want her to gain any more weight. She only gets fed a little bit every 2nd day & it seems to be working so far. :)
lol that is so awesome. Shes like hmm I think ill go check out the fridge. I hear your frog. Just wondering, that is your clawed frog from your other video? At what age did he start vocalizing? I have a male also who is a youngster (8 months old) and I have never heard him. I am thinking about a turtle in the future.. your videos make me want one. Iol
Thx 4 the comment! Yes, that is the same frog from the other vid. I am not sure exactly when his singing started, but if I had to guess, I'd say around a year (?). I knew nothing about frogs when I first got him, and when the "noise" started, I thought it was the fridge motor going bad or something. It took me about 2 weeks to figure out that the noise came from the frog! LOL.
i wuz wonderin duz she know her way around ur house? lol cuz it looks like she duz...n cute turtle btw my two red eared sliders r still small but they alrdy have their own distinctive personalities
hey do they do the bathroom when they are in yr floor.Cause i have one and i want to let it be on the floor but not sure if it does the bathroom on floor to.
Every now & then Sheba has an accident. Right after she eats, she pees so I don't let her out right after I feed her. I wait about an hour, then let her out. I also dry her off before I let her walk around.
industrialg - I love your turtle do you still have her and wondering if you could help me out I wanted to get a turtle like yours. wondering what size tank do you have for her and how big is she. I have a 55 gallon tank and wondering if a turtle like her will out grow that tank if she will what tip of turtle wont out grow a 55 gallon tank and what tip of turtle is she
