I wouldn't suggest it.
A baby turtle with yellow and black stripes is usually a yellow-bellied slider. Their skin is striped yellow and black, and their shells have yellow and black swirls.
Well my friend has a baby yellow bellied slider and it doesn't eat it as it floats she has to pick him up and hold him next to the food and he will extend his neck to eat it!
The Alabama red bellied turtle is the kind of baby turtle that has orange on its stomach and has long claws.
Yes
Guppies are a good little treat, plenty of calcium plus it gives the turtle exercise from the chase and gives you abit of excitement.
Turtles can be cannibalistic. Adult and hatchling turtles should not mix. Also turtles with large size differences should be kept separate. A larger turtle would quite happily take a snap at a hatchling causing serious damage or death. So no, don't mix your baby turtles with your adults.
Turtles aren't exactly the smartest creatures; but they are smart enough to know about what to eat and hiding from predators and such. You can't really teach them tricks if that's what you're getting at ;)
Yes, red eared slidersand yellow bellied slidersare both part of the slider family, so they are easy to cross breed. If you go to a pet shop, you will notice that most baby yellow bellied sliders have faint red 'ears' because they were interbred with red eared sliders.
Squirt the baby turtle seems to have a reddish brown shell, large bug eyes, and a pale beige, mottled body.
Usually baby turtles take about 2-5 days to eat because there not use to the water that's surrounding them! It may depend on what kind of turtle it is like, a yellow bellied slider, they may take up to 1 week to eat!! If the turtle just came out of his egg, then it will not eat right away! I bought a turtle a few hours ago and its not eating properly because his water was cooler then mine, it has to adjust to it first THEN if you have another turtle to take it out so that the other turtle wont bother him or eat its food!
Yes, red eared sliders and yellow bellied sliders are both subspecies of "pond slider", in the wild where their range overlaps they mate quite often producing what are called "intergrades". The particular intergrade between a yellow bellied slider and a red eared slider often has features of both, large yellow markings on the head with a red corner.
A yellow-bellied slider that is lethargic and dragging his back legs has a serious problem. He may have an infection or an injury. He should be seen as soon as possible by a veterinarian whose practice includes reptiles.
