      I’m so glad that you got a new turtle bc I have a red eared slider and he is the same age and same size, so you will help me care for him and learn more information about red eared sliders. I love you and your channel sooo much . May God bless you and your family. And I will also miss Sheldon sooo much. Thanks for all you do.

    Nice tank setup. It’s unfortunate what happened but like you’ve said before, everything happens for a reason. This little res turtle might not have made it out there and you’re giving it the best chance possible.

    Smart choice to put the lid on the tank. Red-eared sliders are surprisingly good climbers. They can be escape artists. I used to have one that managed to climb out of his tank once and was found under my brother's bed about a week later. He's still alive apparently, but I had to rehome him when I moved about a decade ago. I gave him to a former teacher who kept a bunch of turtles and he had babies with a female red-ear that my teacher already had.

    Great video!!
    1. I love that you saved Sheldon Jr! Poor fella looked so dried out in the road, he must have been tired, hot, thirty and hungry. 🐢☀️
    2. He looks like my baby turtle that I found in the road about 2 months ago.
    3. It's so cool that he's in a tank with fish, thanks for telling us what kind of fish they are (keep us posted how how well they get along)
    4. Love love love that turtle cliff!! Discreet filtration AND and basking rock all in one?!? Saaweeet. Keep us posted on how well it works. Personally I love the other filter that you had in there- that's what I use (but I hot glued rocks on it)
    5. How funny that he kept climbing on the rock once you put him in.
    6. Sheldon would be proud and grateful that you saved a fellow turtle. (PS. turtle are crafty escape artists!! In my heart, I bet Sheldon climbed out of the enclosure... and you know turtles, they can cover a lot of ground fast.. i bet he's out in nature exploring and trekking around. 👀 🐢🐾putting down some turtley turtle roots, starting his own little turtle family (well he's probably still too young for that, he's probably doing a little turtle speed dating, finding his right match 🐢💓🐢. Give it a year, you'll see more Sheldon juniors scampering around..little Sheldon offspring). Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ☺✋👍. Live on Sheldon 🤜✌🐢👍🐾

    You’ve helped so much with my turtle, I rescued it from my little brother who had been keeping it secretly in a cooler. He was feeding it nothing but lettuce and had a fungal infection when I got him. Since then my baby red eared slider I would name Po has a 20 gallon tank, he’s on a proper turtle diet and his favorite things to do are hunt bugs and sleep on his rock.

    That's my favorite times with RES turtles, I wish they always stayed hatchling-sized and always had that much energy lol. Especially when she's basking, my RES kinda just ignores me if she doesn't want anything from me.

    Aw, Sheldon Jr. is precious. I’m happy for you and your new shell baby. Maybe Sheldon Jr. wasn’t liking the current too much at first and that’s why he kept going up to the basking platform..? Either way, you fixed the current and he seems more satisfied with it now. Lol
    I hadn’t thought of covering the container with a towel while feeding the turtles in a separate container. That’s clever.

    Awww, a cute baby red eared slider! I turtle hunt and years ago, I found two baby red eared sliders. One came to my fishing pole and I jumped into the lake and got him, and another one I handcaught him in the lake. They were both just a couple weeks old, and I had them for 6 years, they unfortunelty passed due to an infection that I did not catch in time.. RIP to Crush and Snapper, they were two good boys

    @DianaDodson 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's awesome how you just stumbled upon Sheldon Jr! The whole reason we have a turtle (Eastern River Cooter), is because my cat, Bob brought us 2 baby turtles in March of this year. The first was a box turtle and we released him where we think the cat got him. The other we decided to keep and named him Yoshi. We think it's a boy but it's hard to tell till it gets older, but Yoshi is a part of our family now. 🐢❤️

    I just hatched out a group of albino het snow red ear slider babies and setting up a tank myself to put with my albino pink belly sideneck turtles so I came to your channel to see if any new ideas were present. I do need some artificial plants I feel so thank you. I have my adults in a waterland turtle tub so I have not had a baby tank in many years as I raised the adults slowly to increase their life span from them being 3 days old originally.
    My adults are on a short video on my TH-cam channel as well as my albino pink belly sideneck turtles. I will be adding a video of the new baby tank soon but as mentioned, I wanted to get some ideas first. My water was murky as well and frankly I was confused as to why. Treating the water currently. Thank you for the ideas by the way. With hatching alot of albino het snows, I will be finding a few new homes for a few while keeping some back of course to enjoy and raise.
