COMPLETE AQUATIC TURTLE DIET | What I Feed My Adult Red Eared Slider

- In today’s video I discuss what I feed my adult Red Eared Slider on the daily, weekly, and monthly to hopefully answer some new turtle owners’ questions out there! I also diss a few companies that make turtle pellets (ex Zoo Med Reptisticks), because they contain nothing but fillers and low nutritional contents. No, seriously. Ask your vet. My exotic vet informed me that certain turtle pellets are only suitable for your trash bin.
This feeding guide is based on an ADULT turtle which requires LESS protein (pellets, fish, etc) than a younger, more active and growing turtle.
You should never feed your turtle scraps, such as bread because these types of foods contain no nutritional value for your turtle. I’ve included some helpful links below for you to continue your research and put together an amazing diet for your omnivorous turtle!
Lastly, always remember variety is KEY 🔑! Turtles in the wild munch on just about anything that is edible. Do not give in to a stubborn turtle that refuses its greens for pellets. Solely feeding pellets is the “lazy” way to go about your turtles diet, and will surely show its effects as your turtle gets older. Variety. Always

Veryyyyy helpful info THANK YOUUU
Really good video!

Do you clean your tank
My baby doesn't like carrots either but tomato he loves
How many meal worms dryer shrimp and pellets should I feed my red ear slider
Depends on how big they are
Why you have covered basking area? Watching turtle while basking is enjoyable
I totally agree with you, I covered it more for him than me. He used to always dive off when he noticed someone walking near his tank, but with the cardboard there he can no longer see whats going on around him so he will stay up there even if im around the tank 😂😂. I do agree though, its very relaxing and interesting to watch turtles bask.
Wow it's amazing your turtle eats quite a lot of vegetables esp. raw leafy green vegetables like romaine lettuce. My turtle for the most part hates vegetables esp. raw leafy green vegetables.
Mine did too until they had gone several weeks without food after brumation. People also deprive them of food for several days then give them greens and such to get them in the habit of eating vegetables. My sliders used to reject veggies but now they love red lettuce, water hyacinth, frogbit, anacharis etc.
@@cletuswyns Really? Wow! So you would advise me to starve my turtle for about 3-4 days or maybe a week and then afterwards my turtle will be willing to eat some vegetables? I heard one person did that to their turtle and their turtle still refuse to eat vegetables but I don't mine giving this 3-4 day starvation method a try for my turtle to at least eat a little vegetables.
@@RussX5Z ehhhhh I don't think starving them is a good idea unless your turtle is overweight I'm late so I wanna ask how is your turtles?
Question can i put plastic plants?
depends on the individual turtle. definitely possible, but if your turtle starts ingesting/ biting at the plastic plants you need to take em out
Should you put the food in the water or above water ?
you can put the food directly in the water, but sometimes your turtle wont see the food and it will just sink and cause the water quality to go down.
the best option ive found is to tong feed each piece one by one. Its tedious but once you get the hang of tong feeding it goes really fast, and no food is wasted
@@ThatsSoReptii I tried using a tong but I think he is shy because I got him recently. Should I keep trying or smth else ? Thanks for the help btw
Can it be any type of lettuce
romaine lettuce & red leaf lettuce are the best kinds. you can also feed kale, and dandelion greens!
My turtle is 15 and really has no interest in veggies, his shell is starting to turn kind of light yellow? Is this diet or light?
do you have a proper basking setup?
this means that the platform is big enough for your turtle to get completely out of water comfortably. Also the basking dock must be stable enough to not sink into the water. it needs to be completely dry.
the you should also have a UVB bulb as well as a bulb for heat

Hi can i feed my res turtle dried sardines?
Yes
I think the carrot is just too hard for him. boil it to make it soft and cool it off then give it to him maybe he'll like it
Is your turtle a adult
My turtle never eat greens I don't know how to make him likes them ;c
try to show him some tough love and only offer greens for a couple of days until he takes a bite. Also, if your turtle is still young he needs more proteins rather than greens, and as he/she grows older switch to a more green diet rather than protein
why do you tong feed ??💀, you should really be putting them in the water, and when the pallets are in the water it is easier for them to digest, that is what there designed for, plus if they don't make the water murky why not just put them in 🤦♂️🤦♂️ and not gonna lie it kind of looks like the metal tongs hurt your turtle mouth😬🤨
Exactly
Do you clean your tank
yes i clean the filters each month & do a water change as well
