When I gone to my hometown once I got three turtles in the field I don't know how but I thought that they need much space. So I put them in a very big pond and there were so many turtles. Was I right?
When we got our turtles and were doing our research, it was said that it wouldnt be surprizing if the turtles dont care too much about you, but these babies (now almost a year old) are like dogs in our house, splashing water all around just seeing us (even outside of feeding hours)
great video! I have 2 sliders aged 14 years. What I would add to this is to add calcium to their tank once in a while and a couple of drops of tank water purifier! Also direct sunlight is really important, I have sun lamps but I take them out to my patio every week so they can bask in the sun edit: whoops forgot they already turned 14, my babies are grown up 🥺
@@cedricksamaniego9146 nope they're both male lol. My sister had a female that escaped and we found her a week later🥴 she's still alive and now lives with my aunt!
We take our turtle out when feeding and put him in his feeding bowl and put him back when he's done. Keep his tank hella clean. We took a lot of things out of his tank because he is very destructive 😂😂
Same here! Having a separate feeding bowl has been a lifesaver!Although we made a mistake and we let her keep a calcium bone in her tank at one point ...she would just make a major mess in her tank by attacking it! 🤣🤣🤣lesson learned
@@dawnhorn-rodriguez7367 I just read you comment lol. This is my son turtle he moved out 4 years ago and left his turtle with us. Now we turtle grand parents. We had to learn a lot about talking care of him. We spent a lot of money moving him to a 55 gallon tank a few years ago. Any suggestions on a good thermometer cause he broken several of them up attacking them smh. He also get mad with his platform too😂😂
I swear I have read so many articles and message boards and watched so many videos but nothing has ever laid it out as clearly as this video. I literally took notes! lol
my mom plans on getting rid of ours bc we have allot of animals but i made a deal with my dad to be able to keep it as mine if i start taking care of it by myself so thats cool
I have 1 turtle, i baught him when he was the size of a penny, now he is bigger than my hand, Ive had him for 4 years, tysm for the tips my guy, i will make sure to follow em to give my turtle an even better life
Thanks! This is very helpful because me and my partner just got an baby turtle a couple days ago. We were pretty worried about what's the right water placing etc
My school in China just bought two of these for each class. They're all in little plastic boxes and it's killing me. I'll be making them a proper home next week.
I had I red eared slider on 2022, he died on October-Novemberish. He suddenly died of unknown causes, he was all jelly like on when I found out he was dead, I wish I could love him even more than I did when he was here. I loved him more than me. Fly high, little friend 🕊️🕊️🐢
I just (today) got a tiny baby painted (I think) from my sister. I added some larger rocks (already cleaned a million times), a single baby spider plant for him/her to destroy if he/she pleases. Added a baby Buddha statue and some tree bark with a nice smooth underside facing upwards for his/her comfort when climbing. Heat lamp is on its way. He's cozy in some room temp water. All of which is in a small baking pan for now. Totally unprepared but Verne is going to be very happy if I get good turtle advice like this! First time turtle owner and I love my quarter size baby Verne. (Name inspired by Over the Hedge)
Im having my turtle from last 6 mnths i every day keep them in sunlight for at least 1 hr...bcz I dont have and UVB light...im just attached to him he is just so cute....
If you have a unused bathtub use it as a tank, easy water cleaning and no having to carry buckets of water or spending money on a tank, oh also get dechlorinator for the water
I'm getting two turtles tommorrow and I can't sleep cause i'm a bit excited.. It isn't my first turtles cause I used to have 3 giant turtles when I was small but my parents are finally letting me have my own pet so i'm really excited.
Very useful information Alen 😃💚🐢 watching all those cute baby turtles makes me want to get another turtle but mabye for another time . For now I'm focussing on upgrading Turty my 7.5 yr old female Redearslider to a bigger tank .
Thank you for the information on red earned sliders. I have two adults. They fight in the tank together. So I had to separate them. They take turns being in the tank. The one not in the tank stays in their feeding rubber made container.
I go to vacation about one night , the moment i arrived to my home ,one of my turtle died,his shells broke and it had jelly things at his head part. It is possible that my other turtle killed his friend ? Are they fought or hungry so my other turtle killed his friend for a food??
I've had my res for over a year now and he's such a funny little guy. We truly communicate if I go away for work come home he's jumps off his basking site comes to the glass to see me Everytime and winks at me so cute. Started hand feeding him as showed in the videos so cool as well. My guy bask for atleast 7 hours lmfao I keep my lights on from 8am to 7pm here. It's important you have proper lighting. Also please keep your turtle tank clean I see alot of people without filters just rocks. I see others with water browner then my own poop. It's terrible water should be Chrystal clear. Need a suggestion invest in live plants for turtle pee , invest in cat Cory fish for turtle poop and wastes and invest in pleco fish help keep the allergy at bay I've created and entire ecosystem over here we're only cleaning I do is water exchanges and filter replacements and cleaning the turtle himself. Other then that pretty straightforward on taking care of these guys.
My family has owned a turtle since before I was born. Unfortunately her enclosure, food, and overall care are not the best. Everytime I try to convince my parents to do some more research on it and take better care of her they say "shes fine dont worry about it". I feel really bad for the poor turtle, but Im not sure what I can do at this point.
Hey man I have a doubt : I have recently bought a red eared slider, however when I place it in a water tank it will always go to an high altitude place, because it is trying to escape from the tank, and it is not even going to stay in water. It is preferring to stay in dark place, like under table, is it is good for my turtle or I have to place it in water tank ?
Some of the points i felt are not necessary. For example having aquatic plants. It will be a futile effort. Some points i dont agree. For example washing the tank once a month. You might actually need to do it weekly.
I baby my 5 red eared sliders but man this video showed me im not doing it all correctly.... they are healthy and growing and no deformities but God I need to step it up. They are good but can be great
Also small rocks like those in fish tanks or even sand can be problematic for some turtles, some don't recognize they are eating it and it can cause blockage and kill your turtle...
I really want that floating basking area for my turtle! Did you make that or did you buy it? If you bought it can you please tell me from where? Thank you!
Rescued a r slider eyes were swollen and he wasnt moving , been using med zoo eye drops been 2 days he's moving around now eyes look like they went down a lil
I kinda messed up.. My three turtles passed away. They were exactly the same small turtles as yours. I should have watched this earlier. Next time I get some turtles, I will follow these steps.
I killed my hatchlings . Its was very sad . Lesson learned . I have 2 large red eared sliders that are just living life . Right now they are in a pool pond in my basement . There pond is frozen solid . The pond is the hook up . Its fenced in and it is filtered through a biofalls . They have land and a dock . It also has cement blocks all the way around it . I stock it full of minnows and gold fish . Then I feed them lettuce and turtle pallets .
Do you have a turtle?
No :'(
When I gone to my hometown once I got three turtles in the field I don't know how but I thought that they need much space. So I put them in a very big pond and there were so many turtles. Was I right?
Yes, I have 2, one semi aquatic turtle, and a Russian turtle
Yes an almost 8 yr old female Redearslider turtle that I've raised since she was a baby 😍💚🐢
Yes! I have a red eared slider. When I got it, it was just a bit bigger than a quarter, now it's a bit bigger. I take it outside the most I can, too.
This was not only informative, but also oddly calming.
Should be top comment
Why is it oddly? That's discrimination sir or ma'am no pet should be considered different oops!😮
@@Abraham2768 clearly, you don’t know what discrimination means. Try again.

Turtles are meant to be loved and to be cared and you did it very well,

No more turtle soup!
No, some red sliders shell looks like that, and others look smooth and flat@Velonism5594
Watching this reminds me of my turtle who passed yesterday. He loved those leafy greens. I miss him so much.
🥲
How'd he pass?
That’s insensitive
I am so sorry for your loss he or she had the best care and a great life with love.

My turtle is very playful. He loves to get attention and to follow me around when he is out of his tank getting his exercise
One just walked into my front yard so now I'm just watching turtle vids to learn how to take care of him
Yea I found one at work with a cracked shell and now I'm looking at big waterland tubs for him 🙃
@@SkyKid002 I'm looking at bigger tanks for him rn cuz the one I had alr was too small ☠
Just found one on the road today and now he has a whole tank mansion.
That is good .

Can you feed them babies pinkies

I've had my turtle (turd) for 7 years, he should be in my life until I'm a little over 30 which is crazy but amazing
in Vietnam we have a bunch of these guys, you can just look for a pond or anywhere that have water and tada, you found them

Update: every time I want my turtles tank to be clean I would manually have to clean it but now I’m close to be able to afford a filter

Never pick up your turtle with one hand dose it anyways lol
When they're babies they're so tiny. Then they grow up and it's like God damn, dude's the size of a hamburger.
