well, i bought two small baby res turtles before 2 days ago but i suprised that they didnt eat i gave the a mint leaf , dry shrimp but they didnt eat yet .. is it a big deal ?, im worreied..
one of them sleeps all day long .. :|
*should i keep them in a dark place if they want to sleep ? or it doesnt matter ?
My 3 year old RES doesn't want to eat! She used to love the floating sticks, and shrimp. I fed her feeder fish like three times, and I am not sure if she became uninterested in the floating sticks or what because now she wouldn't eat them or the shrimp.
She also has a younger buddy that I bought recently, and the younger one seems to eat more.
@temptationkillsz If there hasn't been a change in the water quality or temperature that might explain a change in appetite, you can continue offering some small amount of fish or crickets along with the floating sticks and chances are she will probably eventually come back to the sticks. (Jordan Patterson described some trouble he had with changing a RES's diet habits in "The Guide To Owning a Red-Eared Slider", and it just took time.)
@temptationkillsz In the book, Patterson tells a story of how this slider didn't want anything but crickets for a whole month and just ignored the sticks, so he stopped putting the sticks in and tried again two weeks later and that time, the RES ate some, and after two more weeks, started preferring them to the crickets. Point of the story: make sure she gets enough food, even if its not what you prefer, and give her time to come around.
@temptationkillsz once this happens with my turtle too .. try not to give her food for 2days and expose her to the sun more and feed her in the third day .. if she doesn't response too then perhaps she is sick
My turtle escaped his tank and knows when someone enters the room and he starts trying to get to you because he knows he will get food. We shall send him to harvard
@KingSuperFart Years. my sister has had hers for 3 years without a basking area..but unfortunately she is developing shell rot. so be sure to get a basking area as soon as possible..but you have a month or so
OMG My red ear slider fell down n abit of its skin on its head is torn that i see white parts and i tink i could see abit of blood too. Please HELP!! Tell me how i should care for it? Is this something minor? Will it get virus infection? n should i pour lesser water into its pond so to prevent water from touching its head? PLEASE HELP!!!
How do you handle them without them biting you? I rarely hold mine, unless for cleaning the tank out, and when i try to pick him up gently he hisses and tried to snap at me, i knew the risk of having one of these turtles, but i am scared with the hassle and i accidentally get bit, i will drop him, he reacts and "begs" for food when i have food but i dont understand how he recognises me but hates me :(
@zecrid ive been bitten by a res twice and trust me if it bites u, u dont have to worrie about dropping it u have to worrie about unlatching the jaws cause when they bite they hold on lol....im suprised urs is so agressive most are pretty calm turtles
Red line along the side of their neck, huh? So that's where the teenage mutant ninja turtles have their red ninja-bandanna-mask-thingys from. Finally it all makes sense. Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, you are to clever for this world.
i have a question my read eared sliders wont eat there pellets no more they only like shrimps and other stuff is that bad ?? if so what to do i would appreciate any ones help thank you
@213Dekalb must be the temperature and other reasons If you feed your turtles with meat shrimps or worms all the time they will not accept other kind of food with a lower taste, like: vegetables and pellets they need eat veggetables when the are adult to prevent diseases on hes bones and shell just make sure the water are heat good enought and some ligthning uvb and heat lamps, Correct temperature makes them Very, Very Hungry and they will eat anything you give.
hi there just a question besides the expensive tank lightning heating etc.. does it cost a lot to feed and care for these turtles? i wanna know what i get into befor i buy it. i have a massive 100 gal tank and heating and uv light but no animal i got it from a friend who had a turtle in it that died when it was 31 yrs old :( anyways just wondering if its expensive to keep one?
@canababe25 Not expensive at all. In fact, the most expensive part of owning a RES is the tank and accessories (uv lighting, heater) which you already have. I feed mine Reptomin and he seems to enjoy it. You can find turlte food at any Walmart or pet store for that matter. Just make sure you get a good heater to keep the temp. at least 70 degrees farenheit. I have had mine for a little over 2 yrs now and he has grown at least 3.5 inches making him 7.5 inches in length.
please tell me if I'm being stupid, because i probably am. i live in Bakersfield, and it gets over one hundred degrees every summer. i wanted to keep my new slider (when i get him/her) in an outside, caged off habitat. I'm digging a little pond to give him/her plenty of space. any help would be greatly appreciated.
do you have to keep them in water because ive had a group of like 5 red sliders for 8 years in my back yard and my back yard has huge cement walls around it and alot of plants, they have babbies alot but ive only found three in 8 years because ussually my dogs kill the eggs or the truttes when they are babbies not that ive seen them but they kill anithing they can (Expet the adult turtles) one managed to get a hold of a bird.... well thats there instinct
my sister has a baby one. its pretty small, its like 2 inches in length. thing is it wont eat the food we bought it, what do the little ones eat? btw we've had it for about a day now.
@SH4D0WS74LK ...it can go awhile without food, it probably is just adjusting to the new environment its in...also they have to be in water to be able to eat. Since this post is two weeks old I hope your little guy is doing okay.
@jahlivejahlove turned out that was just the case! :D yeah, my sister and i feed it reptamin and we slice worms and throw it in the water. Kinda late but thanks for the response!
I have a question; I have a red eared slider, got him like 5 years now, but I notice that he doesnt have the red anemore, is that normal or is he sick or something?
sometimes, red earred slider males aren't as colourful anymore but that doesnt mean that they're sick. sometimes its genes (its parents might have been less on the colourful side, like my baby red earred slider, AJ).
hey i have a question , does this kind of turtle get use to the owner , eg , a cat , cats are scared of thier owners but after a while they get use to their owners , ive had my red ear slider for over a yeah since he was a baby and he is still afraid of me , can someone explain that to me
Red Ear Slider turtles are great turtles for beginning keepers and turtle lovers. Considered throughout the world to be the most popular turtle for keepers, Red Ear Sliders are known for their sweet and interactive personalities.
They are a lot of fun to watch as they interact with each other and bask in their habitats. Basking is one of their favorite things to do, they are just beautiul =-)
i have two red eared sliders, when i originaly got them they had a simple floating dock for basking. After a few months i replaced there dock with a pile of sheet rock but they havent basked in about two days, can someone please tell me why that is, thanks it would help alot
How long does it take to get from like three inches big (store bought size) to something of this size? I have two of these, five before the other three died :( It'd be really awesome it they got this large.
How is she holding the turtle like that my RES tries to jump out my hand and my RES is so hyper like she just downed 12 pixie sticks or something I always bring my turtle in the house at winter time if I'm freezing I think she probably is too so I bring her in.
@tbondful JUST KIDDING,,How long is the claws of a male?,,DEPENDS OF THE SICE OF THE TURTLE,,LOOK SOME PICS OF YOUR TURTLE SICE, YOU WILL FIND IT..GOOD LUCK..
is it bad if they do not hibernate and should i change the temp to what it would be like for them in the wild and if i have three res when they are full grown what size tank should i have and how long do they live for
is it normal for it to eat another turtle i put a small painted turtle in with it not thinking it would eat it plz reply and i got a femal shes out growing her tank shes pretty big and i want a 50 gallon or 70 shes about 6 inches or 7 long and i feed her repto food and i wanna know what kind of food i could use that would be better thanks and i need to make a new basking area cause i got a floading one and shes to heavy for it and its the biggest you can buy thanks
Akwlb, the black fungus stuff you see coming out of the tail and then go back in again are females. My female red ears used to do this. Till today I have not found out exactly what it is. I always assumed it is the red ear's period!
Red Eared Sliders don´t iving just in the United States. They living all over the world.
And the woman in the video should be more carefull with the turtle and that the woman hold the leg of the turtle is horrible. My opinion to that. I have a red eared slider since 16 years.
The shell loses color after having it for a long time. I had mines for over 10 years now. Thanks to this video I now realize that it must be a male because it has long nails and isn't as big
@TheGalic yes these go into hibernation, but i dont know about below freezing temperatures. though i leave my turtles outside during the winter in NEAR freezing temps and they're fine.
i want to asck : cen i keep my red eared sliders in my yard in my pond and did they cen seet there all year in all 4 years weders did they hibernite in winter and did they borow in the graund when out temperature is under zero cen they survive ?
If you have baby sliders, I would say in about 5 year's time they will be considerably larger. The one in the vid should be about 8 yrs + old. Let them bask more then they can grow bigger faster
We have the same turtle. 4 years old. Where do they lay their eggs? Mud or sand? :) We have two turtles. The other one is hiding for a month. We are not sure if it's female or male. Thank you. :)
i miss my red eared sliders. i had 2, boy's name was slash and the girl's name was jewel. my sister killed them, i diddnt talk 2 her 4 almost a mnth, we cool now tho
nah she did it, but i really think it was both our faults, we shuda cooled out then talked about it nstead of bn angry, it was dumb, we let our anger get the best of us, won't happen again, i was just thinkin about it not 2 long ago. i took darn gud care of my turtles everyday, im gttn sum more, and an iguana, i want an aligator snapping turtle tho, she just mad cause they bit her, i told her about that
for some reason these turtles are my least favorite turtles. maybe because they're so popular as a turtle pet. I'm lookin to get a yellow bellied, painted, or a side neck.
why the hell would you get a res:/ ybs are much betterXD or map turtles or even musk turtles but resXD its stupid untill you got a huge pond or insanely large tank
@randomrazr 17 years?? wow, mine is around 8-9 but well for the eggs, you need a male (obviously) and if you have a backyard I recommend you to release your turtles for around half day each day. One day the female will start digging everywhere and laying a lot of eggs. You dont have to worry about the eggs, but some raining day you will see a lot of turtles popping from the ground. It's really cool! (The sad part is that not every little turtle will make it)
i think i have a red eard slider but its redness is very faint its in the same place as any other red eard slider and its 2 years old, wat is he/she????
Also, looking at the front claws can assist you in telling tthe sex of a red ear slider turtle, the claws on a female would be short, the male res has very long claws. Of course if your husbandry is poor, then many things could interfer with how the turlte should and could look.
hello, i have 4 baby red eared turtles they are only about 2 inches. i was wondering how big of a cage i should purchase for my 4 turtles want to have on beige tank for all of them but watt is a reasonable size for all of them? i am now thinking the cage i have is way to small and watt should i put in it for the turtles to play with?! i need help please!
I have a problem... I fed my red eared sliders some fresh fish as a treat, but now they won't eat their pellets. Any suggestions as to what I could do to get them eating their pellets again?
@Wolfhound1995 Dont feed then anymore fish, only offer pellets and veggies, they will eat it, once they realize that's what they are getting, in other words they wont starve themselves if there isn't a health problem going on, and they are just being picky, it's called self preservation, and just like humans will eat what we get even if it's not are first gourmet choice lol. I dont liek feeding my turtle fish, I think the fish can carry to many diseases, and I also feel a high quality pellet-
my RES are still babies but iam worried about when they get older and able to mate,i like them but i dont think i can take care of so many turtles,i have a female and 2 males is there anything that can be done so they wont mate or fertilize the eggs? (btw nothing painful)
well, i bought two small baby res turtles before 2 days ago but i suprised that they didnt eat i gave the a mint leaf , dry shrimp but they didnt eat yet .. is it a big deal ?, im worreied..
one of them sleeps all day long .. :|
*should i keep them in a dark place if they want to sleep ? or it doesnt matter ?

is it possible that i could have mistaken death with hibernation?
8ballsix27 9 months ago
@8ballsix27
Yes it is possible. My turtles basically slept through the whole winter. But they can be woken up and go back into hibernation.
If you touch and pull it (gently of course) and yet it still has no response, then he/she may be dead.

The shell loses color after having it for a long time. I had mines for over 10 years now. Thanks to this video I now realize that it must be a male because it has long nails and isn't as big

If you have baby sliders, I would say in about 5 year's time they will be considerably larger. The one in the vid should be about 8 yrs + old. Let them bask more then they can grow bigger faster

We have the same turtle. 4 years old. Where do they lay their eggs? Mud or sand? :) We have two turtles. The other one is hiding for a month. We are not sure if it's female or male. Thank you. :)

for some reason these turtles are my least favorite turtles. maybe because they're so popular as a turtle pet. I'm lookin to get a yellow bellied, painted, or a side neck.

randomrazr 1 year ago
@randomrazr 17 years?? wow, mine is around 8-9 but well for the eggs, you need a male (obviously) and if you have a backyard I recommend you to release your turtles for around half day each day. One day the female will start digging everywhere and laying a lot of eggs. You dont have to worry about the eggs, but some raining day you will see a lot of turtles popping from the ground. It's really cool! (The sad part is that not every little turtle will make it)

Also, looking at the front claws can assist you in telling tthe sex of a red ear slider turtle, the claws on a female would be short, the male res has very long claws. Of course if your husbandry is poor, then many things could interfer with how the turlte should and could look.

I have a problem... I fed my red eared sliders some fresh fish as a treat, but now they won't eat their pellets. Any suggestions as to what I could do to get them eating their pellets again?
Wolfhound1995 1 year ago
@Wolfhound1995 Dont feed then anymore fish, only offer pellets and veggies, they will eat it, once they realize that's what they are getting, in other words they wont starve themselves if there isn't a health problem going on, and they are just being picky, it's called self preservation, and just like humans will eat what we get even if it's not are first gourmet choice lol. I dont liek feeding my turtle fish, I think the fish can carry to many diseases, and I also feel a high quality pellet-
sexykat426 1 year ago
@Wolfhound1995 also got cut off, a high quality pellet and greens is much better for them, and an occasional treat.

@iiRockkSkiinies
if your turtle is "pooping stones" then you must have gravel in the tank , gravel will kill your turtle if it doesnt get passed ..
you NEED to take the gravel out of the tank
and i carnt sex your turtle if you dont have a video or something ...
