I’ve been having my red ear for 8 months now. He may have been maybe a month or two. His shell was still somewhat soft. It’s been 8 months now and he’s still seems really small. I have a 5 gallon tank. Is that to small for him

My red eared slider(Raphael) sneezed a bubbly mucus substance today after moving him and Mikey from a 32cmx19cmx24cm tank to a 50cmx34cmx34cm tank and he kinda lost his appetite compared to before? He's eating a little bit but not as much as yesterday where he'd even try to bite Mikey in the mouth when Mikey already had a hold of a pellet 😢

Got my turtles a freshwater snail as a treat. They didn't eat it at first, but slowly picked on it for about two months. One morning, I saw the shell empty and broken. Tbh, I should have chosen a smaller snail. Turtles are fine.

I think red eared sliders get more bored when they are alone. This is based on personal experience where my red eared slider tries to escape more often when she is by herself. However, as you mentioned, google seems to think they are fine by themselves so who knows

Hi my turtle, she is 6 years old has swelling eyes for the past two weeks? But as of recently one of her eyes had slightly opened. The problem is that she started sneezing and moving less. She also hasn’t been eating no matter how much I tried(only once recently she did). She managed to eat a bit a few days ago. But her it was because her other eye was more open from my assumption. I’m really worried for her, because she has been “sneezing” or “wheezing” nonstop. She also has this yellow mucus in her mouth that I noticed, it’s not filling her mouth completely, but it’s still apart of it. I can’t really afford a vet right now, and im really worried. My tank had been cleaned recently, and I’ve been worried.

Couple things: 1. That looks like a LOT of fruit to feed all at once. 2. Also, it’s my understanding you should never feed aquatic turtles out of the water as they require a gulp of water with each bite to avoid choking and properly digest. That’s why she’s taking each piece into the water to eat it.
@turtleholic
@turtleholic 7 күн бұрын
Yeah, I spread this video out over a couple days to make sure she didn’t eat too much at one time. And at first I tried feeding the fruit to her directly in the water, but a lot of times she wouldn’t see it and it would float to the bottom and she wouldn’t be able to find it. So that’s why I tried on land and saw her take it to the water anyways. But yes, in general they should be fed directly in the water.

I left her in there for 20 minutes and the puffiness went down enough for me to see her pupils now. I’m gonna do it again before bed time. I also got her some eye rinse so we’ll see how things go by the end of the week.

She is fun, as she comes right over and she seems okay with my husband holding her. It is never forced and wasn't expected. But was neglected lots before, bad water, no lights or basking area. So a bit of recovery, but going well now. They said yellow belly slider, but obviously a fully grown female red ear slider.
