Do you have a turtle?
No but I used to have one I gave it to my cousin because my mom was scared of it
No...but I have budgies
I have 1 Rússian turtle,1pseudemys heirogliphica turtle ,10 Budgies,10 lovebirds,2 pigions,1 fish ,2 mandarim diamonds ,and 2 cockatiels.
Nope 😐
Sorry to say but I have to say NO
But still in the future it will work
And I can watch ur video 😅
I bought my daughter a RES when she was 12 years old & now she's 25.
When she went to college I had to care for her Turtle bc she couldn't take it to school with her.
Needless to say, I've had the Turtle ever since. When I got her the Turtle it was the size of a quarter, now the Turtle is the size of a large dinner plate.
Her name is Maci & her length is 10½ inches long & 10 inches wide.
She's huge . . . 🐢
you think she'll ever take her back? im guessing the turtle is around 14 years old now and it still has half it's life to go😂
im 17 and just got my first two red eared sliders for free at work. Some guy tried dropping them off but we can't sell them since they're now illegal in indiana so i just took them off his hands and said i'll take care of them for him. They're only about 3 or 4 inches long and are so freaking cute
Our red eared slider is around 33 years old and when we got her she was in a 4ft x 2ft tank with one very blocked filter and nothing else in the tank other than a standard house bulb above the tank. Luckily we found her and she now has everything she needs. But can't belive she survived for this long with no filtration in a very small tank and only one type of food, as far as I know this turtle had been kept like this for about ten years...Obviously I'm not saying anyone should ever keep a turtle in these conditions. But considering her last owner kept her like that and she's 33 with no health conditions we are aware of, this is an amazing story considering everyone says how hard these turtles are to look after. Just thought I would put this in the comments as it's a crazy story and at 33 years old she's almost as old as the 41 year old guineas record holder for red eared sliders.
I've had my 3 Red Eared Sliders for 20 years. They were like the size of a 50 cent piece when I got them. I have one very large female and the other two are male. They are all separated because years ago my female would always shove the male's away from her and when I had the two male's together, one of them got territorial and kept attacking the other so they had to be separated. They bring me happiness. I love my shelled babies. Lol
I rescued mine several years ago in a dry pond and due to his growing in size upgraded him to a 105 gallon container with natural sun light in which he strives. Used to have 2 of them but they didn't really appreciate each other's company.
20 years……? Time to go for a swim
Your turtle tank is the most beautiful one
I agree

Excellent video man!
What a beautiful and comfortable cave for red eared slider turtle！
thanks this helped!
My turtle is overweight and he's in a tank in terrible condition, he is half his tank. What can I do? My parents don't give a shit and passive-aggressively shrug me off when I try to have a say in something. Even if I have to give him away to rescue or, whatever will help him have a better life, I want to know what I can do. He's precious to me but he doesn't even get sunlight and it breaks my fucking heart to think about it. He doesn't even get to swim and My dad does shit to him that if I call out, I'd be told off. We got him from someone who didn't know jack shit about him. My turtle hasn't eaten in half a week, we fed him shrimp since a young age because he stopped taking turtle pallets, he is 4 years old.
Oh God 😢
I know this was posted a while ago, but when I was younger with my turtle I went through a similar experience. Here’s some tips that helped me out of this situation:
Your parents won’t do anything about it, so you need to take up the responsibly of it yourself. If you’re old enough and able to get a job, get one! Spend your paychecks on turtle supplies. If you aren’t old enough, start hoarding as much money as you can to save up for a large tank. Maybe do odd jobs around your area (ex: mowing lawns, dog walking, babysitting, etc.) if you get birthday/Christmas money, save it! If your parents give you 5 bucks for whatever reason, save it!
Start with the bare minimum. Something half as good is better than something terrible, And then work your way up from there once you know your turtle is in a safe environment. A 40 gallon that’s maybe a little bit too small is better than a 10 gallon that your turtle can’t even turn around in.
As for enclosures, look for secondhand or dollar per gallon sales. Check places like Craigslist, garage sales, thrift stores, or Facebook marketplace. Check multiple times a day if you need to! I’ve gotten large tanks secondhand for 30 bucks. Give yourself the opportunity to get lucky.
If you can’t find or can’t afford a glass tank, try getting a plastic toddler pool (ones large enough for turtles are like 15 bucks) or some sort of large plastic storage bin. Your parents may not like these options as much though. Just make sure whatever you use can withstand the water pressure.
Even though I would highly recommend a filter, you could get away with doing VERY frequent water changes If you’re super tight on money. And as long as you have good heat lamps, you shouldn’t need a water heater unless it gets super cold in your house.
The heat lamps will be your most expensive purchase, but you’ll only need to buy them every 6 months to a year. Stand-alone halogen bulbs are about 16 USD and uvb is about 20 where I live. However, at petco and on Amazon, you can get a combo kit of these for about 25 dollars (if you go to petco In person, remember to price match with the website!) you can get the light fixtures themselves at hardware stores for way cheaper than the ones marketed towards reptiles! Look for baby bird heat lamp domes.
As for the food issue, get some cheap turtle food. Tetra Reptomin sticks are the best cheap food you can get. Completely cut out the dried shrimp and ONLY offer the sticks. Your turtle won’t eat them for a little bit, but it *will* get hungry enough to eat the sticks and eventually switch over. I’ve had to do this multiple times with my turtle, and its a pretty common problem with other people too. If your turtle starts to loose weight from not eating, offer the shrimp again for a couple weeks and then try again with the sticks. You can do more research on this yourself, I’ve heard people call it “the tough love treatment” or something like that.
Your turtle is still young, so If you manage to get all these down before it hits maturity, you can potentially save it from metabolic bone disease, stunting, pyramiding, and shell rot!! But regardless, turtles are VERY hardy, and will likely be okay long enough for you to get his enclosure set up with the bare minimum
If you can’t do any of that, yes, you’ll need to consider rehoming. Just do not release your turtle into a pond outside. There are rescues for specifically red eared sliders, or you could try putting an ad up online.
I wish you and your turtle the best ❤️ i understand how rough of a situation it is when you’re just a kid and aren’t able to take care of your own pet. Id love to help if i can, so if there’s anything else please don’t be afraid to reply to my comment. Good luck!!
i love your Aquarium. how did you put that big wall rock display on your aquarium? and how did you make water fall from that wall rock like if it was a waterfall?
Only 15 years?! Try FORTY to FIFTY years in captivity, especially if the tank environment is large enough for the growing red eared slider turtle to comfortably swim and basically live without stress. Let's not forget, having the correct UVB lighting, a heat lamp, an excellent filter, an underwater heater (for turtle owners who live in cold climates), a large enough basking area and the correct diet throughout the aquatic turtles entire life.
Umm ya 15 years? I’ve had my pet red eared for 25 years and he was at least 5 when I got him. I expect him to live close to 50 years. I consider him to be middle aged at this point. And he acts middle age
Awesome vid TYSM I'ma new Subbie
I got my red eared slider turtle at petco when I was 18 with one job now I am almost 33 with 2 part time jobs and I routinely clean half the 75g aqaurium every week feed her a little every night and one year 3 months she disappeared thank god it was a mild year. so yeah we had quite a relationship.
Thank you
Love them🥰
Hi budgie nation I love your videos and your tank. Where did you get it? I can’t find anything like it anywhere
hey man i love that tank! where can i get one?
Thanks man
Best channel biggest fan ever
I have two of them , there both about a year in a half old but I think I been over feeding them or maybe not. I give them food every day in the morning and night (6 pellets each time) and sometimes I give them carrots here and there
Is that to much cause they have never gotten sick or anything plus they always ask for more food but I don’t give them
Very good video!
Thank you very much!
How u maintain the clear water? Its not cloudy at all!
Thx for info! My cousin sister has and its nice to hear because she was feeding wrong.
plzzzz can you give us info about the tank and everything i want to buy like yours
Yes
Do you put a bowl of water in the tank, Like on the basking area? Just watching and learning.
Best food is mealworms maggots -not dyed- worms slugs daphnia for youngsters ,bits of meat fish and chicken and their favourite snails (from fish tanks) which they love,And occasionally some lettuce or sililar to help them digest their food.
How old is this turtle and how often do you feed her (or "him", if I'm wrong)
How many pellets do you feed your turtle every other day if they’re 2-4 years plz answer bc no one ever answers me and I’m clueless
i give my turtles a loaf of pan sobao con lechuga (sprinkle a lil adobo si quieres) and theyre good for the day…
Please make more videos on turtles and hamster
I have a month old turtle. Well I’m not sure of age but it’s super small and hasn’t eaten in a month. Idk what to do and I give it two different foods and it still doesn’t eat
Can you show us how to set up the tank?
I do
Sir my 🐢 is small...i am feeding it the tablets (turtle food ) available in aquarium....when should I start feeding them vegetables( green vegetables , 🥕)
لاک پشتت خیلی نازه تانکشم خیلی قشنگه ❤ولی لاک پشت من سبزیجات نمی خوره شکمشم خیلی سفت کار می کنه و فقط مرغ و گوشت و ماهی می خوره ترو خدا بگید چیکار کنم 🙏🏻
Hi quick question. My turtle 🐢 his name is Liam. He doesn’t really bask as he should or as i was told , should i be concern? He’s 1 year old.
Hey love check the water temperature and how much room he has to bask. Do you have a heating lamp and a uvb bulb?
Same prob with me.my turtle don't want to bask.even if I am leaving on the grass or beach under sunlight.he just don't want to under the sunlight or under uvb lights.but he is very active and eating well.
@@dylan6630 yes i do. So here’s an update he bask on the dock when it’s completely quiet and no one is around or when he is comfortable.
I wish i can show you guys pictures. I’ve caught him a lot lately on the dock basking. Maybe not for a long time but atleast a couple of mins which is an improvement!
@@juliettecedeno168 turtles can be very sensitive to sound I’ve found. So just make sure while he is basking you ARENT too close to the tank. My baby Merlin had that issue for a while where he’d literally like just DIDNT bask but it’s because he didn’t feel safe. Make sure your tank has places for him to hide behind like decorations he can duck under or hide behind (be careful it isn’t too small and he gets stuck.) but decor can rlly make him feel safer also feed him lots of veggies my turtles love lettuce. That could be another thing his diet could be very messed up.
Just found one o the side of the road and I have a empty 100 gallon in my backyard... looks like I have a turtle now
Kale is good? Thanks
How often should I feel my juvenile RES ?
Hi, my turtle is around 2-3 years old, should i keep feed them once a day, or once in 2-3 days?
Thanks
Mine is same, I feed two times a day, small dead fishes😅he is non vegetarion
He had never eat any vege💀
I tried too much
no but i am begging for one 😂
Can i ask about feding?if baby turtle breakfast lunch and suffer for feding?or twice a day?or once a day?
Once a day will do
My turtle is sooooo cute 🥰
My turtle is 8 months old and she loves to eat white boiled rice. Is it fine to feed along with pellets
I don’t think that’s healthy for them it’s very hard
Mine gets a variety of pellets, freeze dried vegetables, fresh cabbage leaves, meal worms(we spilt them with turtle as well as our chickens and rooster). Once he's big enough we'll also treat him to the same feeder fish we get the chickens.
@@14ma99 How Is Boiled Rice Hard?
@@ToastyToastEditz I didn’t see this 😭 I thought rice it’s self but yeah I got another turtle 😭
@@14ma99 Oh Okay, How Old Is Your Turtle?
I have 2 year old red-eared turtle.he eats everyday but he is very choosy with the veggies.he eats lettuce and carrot only.sometimes broccoli.he likes to have shrimps and turtle pallets.only problem I m facing he don't want to stay in the aquarium or under uva uvb light.he don't want to stay under sunlight also.he is very active and eating well.but I m worried about his shell.he has 40 gallon tank.
He likes to roam in the house and sleeps under my bed. he has his hide-out place in the aquarium. he just likes to follow me around the house. very active in playing with me.
Search "how to encourage turtle to bask under uvb".This might help
Put some pellets or shrimp🦐 in his basking plate and it should work. I did that to my turtle 🐢 and now I can't get him off the basking. He loves basking
I found mine in my pool❤
0:29 I have a question, why do turtles do this? My turtle has been doing this a lot and im not sure if its a bad thing >.>
It don’t think it’s a bad thing, my turtle does it to
Face cleaning
My turtle does this when her skin is particularly dry. I think she’s just scratching her head. I give her aquarium salt baths, which makes her skin less dry. She stops doing that when her skin isn’t dry.
My red eared slider is 37 years old.
How often do you have to change the water?
At least a week
It should be clear and without smell
I change them every 2 days. That's why I buy alot of water because I love my babies turtles and they will be with me for life.

Maybe you can answer me...Is it possible for a turtle(A red eared slider) to bond with a human like a dog, or a cat? Because as far as I am concerned, reptile's feelings are not the same as mamals, but, I would like to know if my two babies like me or if I'm more like a phenomenom that feeds them. Like...I want to make them happy with things I have, and, for now, they are very young.
My red eared slider I’ve had for 25 years and he was at least 5yo when I got him. I’m most definitely a “phenomenon” that feeds him but he’s a very curious creature that I let out of the enclosure to wander the house and seems to look for people to hang around with…. Even the cat. The cat can’t be bothered with him tho. They have quite the personality once you get to know them. But I don’t think they have emotion like most animals do
I Had My Red Eared Slider Turtles For 7 Years And They Follow Me And They Are Super Friendly And Tamed
@@ToastyToastEditz Nice! 83
@@nismo20032 Meh. I really wish they had...=/
@@redfox555 WHAT
So should I feed them once a day only ? I have baby red ear slider
If you have pallets then feed them 4-6 pallets a day or 2
Tank size doesn’t affect the size of it
How does your turtle not jump out of the enclosure?
Hi can u pls tell why my birds don't eat apple
Hi, it might be because they don't like it or because they are still scared of it.
@@vanessagonzalez5185 You are right
Try chopping so small mix it with finy amount of seed then gradually make it bigger i did this my bugie finally got to eat slices whole carrots bananas broccoli and more just keep trying dont give up♡♡
Thanks
Luis Suarez's brother 😆
How many pellet should you feed them
4-6 a day or 2
they love turtle pellets
Sumhow he still didnt answer the question
Hello I have 2 of them 🐢🐢❤️✌🏽
Where did you get them
I wish. To. Be. A. One of those
my turtle suddenly stopped eating food from last month still now not even opening its mouth I took it veterinary hospital but they even don't know about turtle can anyone just help me
young red eared sliders eat mostly fish
Or in America as red ear slider
I,m the Egyptian
I feed my baby red eared slider pellets once everyday
15 years or 50 years old? I think I hear 15.
Can turtles be friends or play with budgies?
Turtles aren’t really social animals. They may prefer being alone but they can play with toys or ping pong balls.
What is the age of your turtle
its probably a baby
Alen,can we have normal light for turtles
Heat lamp is more useful cause its cold blooded
When I'm home all day I feed mines 3× a day
My red ward slider turtle is agreesive so I named her snappy she only eats meat
I stop feeding the tortule so she's hungry enough but anyway she don't eat the pelets
Can they eat carrots
Is this turtle a rescue?
Yes she is 🥰

i though red eared slider turtles lov worms
How about a proper netted tank cover? In this video, why are the lights over an open tank? I would never hang any sort of bulbs over an open tank, that's dangerous, even more dangerous if you have a cat! Cats love to climb, a cat will try to get at the turtle. Any lamps over a turtle tank without a lid can accidentally fall into the tank and electrocute a turtle. Please get correct information before deciding on getting a turtle for a pet. Taking care of a turtle isn't as easy as many assume.
I found one maybe 8 to 10 inches long. Pls help
