Aquatic Turtles Eating Lettuce In Their Outdoor Pond

Tucker, my mapp turtle, Eenie, Mynie & Mo (pretty sure they are Yellow Bellied Sliders) love their romaine Lettuce. Although, if you look close at the other big one that I call Eenie, her belly is very orange. So I'm not really sure what she is. Sometimes I also give them Spinach along with their turtle pellets. My other turtle, Meenie, was traded for Fineus, my parakeet.

Anyway, I was getting some requests for more turtle videos. They love basking up on the huge plastic tub that is turned upside down. They get up on it by the two bricks. Even though the rain has brought the water level up to the very top of the pond, they've never really tried to escape - yet. I keep checking and have to empty the water sometimes after a hard rain that we get here in Florida.

@runescape123123581 Hey thanks for the comment. I feed them floating aquatic food sticks, hibiscus flowers (which they love), romaine lettuce, carrots(sparingly).

@567striker thanks - but all the credit goes to the best hubby in the world. He's the one that makes all the stuff for the fish, birds, and critters - I'm just the caretaker.
