Glad I could help!

What do I do if my turtle doesn’t like fruits or vegetables
I suggest not feeding them for 2-3 days, and then when they are really hungry, try vegetables
Look awesome! Too bad it can’t be delivered to the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks!! Hopefully one day!
Great videos. I have a quetsion. Besides sponge, do you use other media such as cermaics to promote bacteria growth? Thanks.
Hi, I probably should, but I don’t. So far my filters have been able to keep the water pretty clean, and I would have to get a whole new filter to fit ceramics
@@turtleholic Thanks.
Appreciate all the research and tips u give us 🎉
Thank you!
I have kept ours for 17 years
That’s impressive!

I have two RES turtles that i think are about seven years old. Their shells are seven to eight inches long, and i think they're female. I'm very new to the turtle world. My problem is finding a good vegetable based food for them to eat. Ive tried kale, carrots, and zucchini. Obviously there are a lot more options ,but i really want something in a pellet form that i can monitor easily. All the products i see available are loaded with animal protein. Ive got jars and jars of that. Can you recommend something for me? Help me Obee Won Kenobi, you're my only hope...
What worked best for me was not feeding my turtle for 2-3 days. And then when she got really hungry, she was way less picky and started eating the vegetables. Maybe just try to cut up the veggies extra small.
You are amazing we support you 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
hey turtlehloic, i got some new baby turtles 3 days ago but they arent eating, is that normal?
That’s very normal. They will probably start eating in the next couple of days. Just make sure that their food is small enough to easily fit in their mouth.
@@turtleholic Thank you so much, now im realived and they are eating now
it looks awesome, much success to you and Penny! (consider sending a free sample to our friend Gunso in Japan!)

Can a turtle bask to much?
Basking by itself won’t be too harmful, but the problem is that a lot of times, a turtle will start basking a lot when they get sick, so it might be a sign of an illness.

My turtles love canned tuna and chicken!
I’ve never tried chicken, but I want to soon.
I have two pretty large red-eared sliders that I keep in a 70 gallon tank is filled with water 3/4 the way and I bought the floating island so they can get out and sunbathe under The lights. I hope it's all right if they live in water I thought that was their preference not to be in a dry tank and throwing them in a wet bucket to eat food?
It depends how large your turtles are. If they are both over 5 inches, 70 gallons is pretty small, but I understand the struggle of having to upgrade tanks
Thank you for your video this is what is happening to our baby... I was nervous!! 😅
It looks so concerning at first, but rest assured, it’s totally normal! Haha
Everything you said was absolutely positively true and you literally just described my learning experience from saving this turtle (Raph) and yes I did let him try a tiny piece of pizza crust and he loved it
Sir i hurt my turtle:( will it forgive me???
They have pretty short term memory, so it will probably forget soon
I love my turtles 3 year old me named them stupid turtle (he kept swimming at the glass) and Alfred I’m 24 now and there still healthy btw a good rule is 10 gallons per inch of shell
Love that!
I have another question I just got some one is active and swims around but the other stays in one spot and sleeps
that's normal for babies. I'd give it at least another week or two before getting worried.
Idk why but my turtle used stretche her all four legs and twist them whenever I feed her in water and it looked very painful and she would open her mouth very very wide open as far as she can, it was only happening in water but now she does in on dry land to and I'm afraid please help me
I'm sorry but I've never heard of this before. If it only happens when you feed her, it might just be a result of her getting excited for food.
@@turtleholic I have a video of her doing it where can I show it too you ?
Can you email it to turtleholic1@gmail.com
how many times a day can i give my turtle a carrot bath his eyes have been shut for almost 2 weeks now, i’ve been giving him vitamin a eye drops as well
I wouldn’t do more than 1-2 baths per day. If it doesn’t improve after another week or two, a vet might be the only option.
My turtles have never touched my live plants.. only hide in them and so happy i only need to clean my tank once a month
I'm jealous!
Very good, kid! Thanks
I tried feeding my turtles with fruits such as blueberry, bananas and strawberries. Also with some vegetables, but they would still prefer eating the pellet. Is it okay?
How old is your turtle. If they are under 4-5 years old, that's fine.
@@turtleholic yes, they are still young. How old should I introduce fruits and vegetables? Thank you. 🙂
You should try to incorporate them when your turtle is around 4-5. Once your turtle is 7-8, veggies (and some fruit) should make up majority of their diet
Don't be stupid like me and forget to dechlorinate your water after water changes or during. STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID mistake. My turtle is fine though got her all healed up with vitamin A, and some turtle eye drops. Bit of dry docking and she was good as new
Glad she’s okay!

Where can I get that grass?
I got this one (amzn.to/3BcijgD). It is great for the part on land, but the part that was submerged in the water started to lose the grass.
My turtle has been breathing with open moth and stretched neck for almost three months and no home caring worked. So I took him to the vet. My turtle is using cephalexin syrup orally for the past 2 weeks ( it means two complete periods) and he still has the same symptoms and is breathing with stretched neck and open mouth. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm very scared 😭😭😭😭😭
It looks like cephalexin is used for bacterial infections, so your turtle might have a fungal infection or viral infection
@@turtleholic omg you are a lifesaver thank you so much 😍😍❤️❤️
Did your turtle improve?
@@turtleholic it has a long story. After that antibiotic didn't work, I took him to vet and he took an x-ray or radiography from him. Turns out his lungs are fine and he doesn't have respiratory infection. His bones are too weak due to low calcium! And made him have the symptoms like infection. But it hadn't turned to MBD yet. So I'm giving him calcium syrup supplements and cuttle bone for lack of calcium and vitamin b syrup to make him get stronger. Please pray for my little man. And if you have and advices, it is more than welcome. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for helping me out ❤️❤️❤️🥰
My stinkpot musk turtle was showing symptoms of respiratory infection. I decided to set up a small hospital tank for him. Had the water level only high enough to cover his entire shell. Add water conditioner and turtle fix. I did daily water change in the hospital tank. Gave him oral treatment of goldenseal root that specifically treats respiratory infection. I just so happen to have them in my medicine cabinet. Each capsule is 500 mg. I removed the capsule and separated the powder. I then lightly soaked 1 reptomin pellet and coated it in the goldenseal root powder that i removed from the capsule. I did this for 2 days and my turtle has since recovered. Hes now back in the main tank which is a 40 breeder.
Wow that’s amazing, I’ve never heard of goldenseal root. Sounds like a good option if you can’t take your turtle to the vet
@turtleholic it's not proven medically but it seems to work for both me and my turtle.👍 it is definitely cheaper than the vet! I panicked initially but with quick thinking I was able to find a temporary solution.
How did you take it the goldenseal mine is a baby maybe 1inch 3inch shell size you give it to the turtle orally @@remhk6672
I have two babies on a whim. For my kid. I will be looking at more of your videos. Thanks for the tips. I don't even know if I have girls or boys.
I've tried all sort different foods new heater vitamin drop for water
is your turtle still moving around and swimming? If not they might be sick.
@@turtleholic he is moving but only a little bit every now and then if I put him in the bath he swims but he's not doing much in the tank .
I would try some freeze dried crickets or another type of insect. Or maybe shrimp.
@@turtleholic I took him to the vets he had a respiratory infection . Thanks for all the help
Glad the vet was able to properly diagnose it. Did they give your turtle antibiotics?
ive had aa turtle for about a week now and hes a baby cooter he hasnt eaten much i give him pellets red shrimp and lettuce daily but he doesnt really eat somtimes he does but usually for like 2-3 days he basks eyes closed and wont eat and whenever hes not hes under water hiding which is normal for turtle babies but i dont know if you have any advice thatd help ive tried most things in this video
It's probably too early for vegetables, but I'm surprised he's not eating the shrimp. Maybe try cutting it up into small pieces so it easier for him to eat. Also, might be best to drop the food in and then leave so that he feels more comfortable going for the food.
@@turtleholic hes been eating this past week so yeah all that worked well hes eating lettuce shrimp and his pellets, thank you
My res 's name is Penny too❤❤❤
No way! such a small world!
My yellow belly slider is 14 years old. She has been in a new larger tank for a year and a half and was thriving. She laid eggs 2 months ago for the first time. She ate fine and acted fine about 3 weeks ago she stopped eating and all she wants to do is bask in her basking area. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I would try increasing water temperature, as that can help speed up metabolism. Also, not sure what you've been feeding her, but might wanna try switching to a different type of pellet or introduce shrimp or crickets.
How do I make it not smell like actual diarrhea.
You will definitely have to do a full water change. And then clean out the sponges in your filter. If the smell keeps returning, you probably need a stronger filter.
What if this does t work what could be the problem I did this last night to hope this cloudy would go away and no :(
The next thing I would try is getting a more powerful filter
My turtle has been gasping for air. Took her for antiobiotics and i don't know if it helped. She's not moving, has no reflexes, and her eyes have been open for over 8 hours. Their open with a glassy look. I can't tell if she's even breathing. I feel she has passed, but I'm so unsure. Why would she be in this kind of state?
