Hey everyone, long time no.. read..?
Anyways, So I saw a post on Snapchat of someone selling a red eared slider. I at first wasn't too interested thinking it would sell quickly. I haven't owned a turtle since I was a wee lassie, so I'm not very familiar with them. I saw pictures of the turtle and the setup and thought to myself "oh man.. he needs a home." The turtles shell is about 4.5" which should mean he is in around 45 gallons and he is still growing. He is in a 20 gal tank with one log , some flat rocks, a fake plant. I know that that is not nearly enough of what he needs. When I went to pick him up, the lady said he had a brother but then changed the subject quickly so I'm assuming something could have possibly happened to it or she had already sold him because she clearly did not want the turtles. I took the turtle and it's poor excuse for a setup and it is now living with me. I brought him home yesterday and am in the process of buying everything he needs for an adequate home. My issue right now is feeding. I bought him a couple days ago and the first day he stayed with my mother. When I fed him, he didn't eat. I fed him again yesterday and again he didn't eat. He didn't eat this morning either and I am worried as I am not familiar with turtles and their feeding. I am asking for help if any of you are familiar with turkey, red eared sliders in specific. I can give you more details if required
