[@str8upkills60]

First! Hey I had a question, I just upgraded my three red eared sliders to a 55gallon, but with the new filter I have it requires me to have the water all the way at the top and my turtles can climb out so I’m not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

[@undomesticatedhuman]

maybe try somehow securing plastic egg crate around where they can escape? try maybe tape or something to stick it on or if you can, use silicone?

[@TheTurtleGirl]

you could make a lid out of eggcrate or screen and find a way to escape proof it!

[@str8upkills60]

Ok! Thanks for the ideas!

[@chabequitochabequito3336]

Great vid I was wondering where can you find 75 gallon or tanks that are wide but are still tall like yours because I have been trying to find tanks like that.

[@TheTurtleGirl]

Most chain pet stores have larger tanks, or can special order them for you! Stock tanks/tubs are also a good option if you're looking for bigger enclosures

[@Saphire023]

LOLLL the cut to you editing 😂 couldn’t agree more though

[@TheTurtleGirl]

[@justinbui3525]

Hey Turtle girl. I am going to volunteer at my summer camp for 2 weeks and 4 days and I will not be able to change the water for my two red eared sliders in my 65 gallon tank. Will they be okay without a water change until I get back? Please let me know. I have an automatic feeder for them.

[@TheTurtleGirl]

Hmm...if it's an auto feeder that makes it a little more tough. They'll probably be fine by just make sure the autofeeder won't overfeed them and just do a water change as soon as you get back.

Is a 40 gallon good for a 1 year old red eared slider?

[@alyssagottner4020]

Depends on the size of their shell. The bare minimum is 10 gallons per inch of shell

A 40 gallon would be a bit small, but would be fine for a bit. Try to upgrade to a 75 gallon

@The Turtle Girl It looks like a Chinese golden thread turtle, the one you weren’t sure about in the bowl eating

[@misodinamosa]

My Red Ears are 10”, 8.5” & 8”obviously feed bites according to turtle comfort swallowing. To get your turtle to eat fish, greens, fruit wait a few hours after they normally eat. I cut mango & apples up & microwave a few seconds so it’s a little softer. I boil fish to kill anything that might harm my turtles. It also makes it easier to eat. Be careful they love fish and will keep eating until the cows come home. That’s a long time cause I don’t have any cows 😂😂😂😂

[@samuelnunez2842]

I would definitely add one. They can hide when they want, then come out if they're comfortable!

[@TheTurtleGirl]

A hideout can mean different things...I'd be careful about caves since they could potentially get stuck - but things like live/fake plants and other decor that they can hide in and behind are great and can make them feel secure!
