Red eared sliders mate at the age of 1-3 years ( females ).

Red eared sliders mate at the age of 1 6 years ( males ).

Both Male and Female have to be 6-8 inches.

For the most part this is false. Red ear slider females need to be atleast 6 inches and atleast 3 years old but usually 4 to 5 years old.

Males need to be 5 inches and atleast 2 years old but usually closer to 3 or 4 years old.

So basically unless your turtles are atleast 3 years old then there will be no mating, the male might try but the female will usually not "accept" until she is ready.

Why won't my baby red eared slider eat?

AnswerDo you have a heat lamp for the turtle? See the Related Question below.AnswerMy baby turtle has the same problem but I'll tell you what I know... Red eared sliders can only eat in water, and they wont eat if its too cold or if your watching him/her. also try giving him/her different foods and try to see if he/she will eat that. also if it is a new turtle then wait a few day until it is used to its surrondings. and baby red eared sliders like meat alot more then anything else so try and give cooked salmon or cooked meat. I hope that your turtle eats!Another Answer:Red Eared Slider turtles eat MEAT when babies, make sure they are at home and comfy and not spazzing out, then slip a small piece of chicken in their tank. It will sink, but they should find it. Also, when Red Eared Sliders are babies, the water cannot go above their heads if they are on their back legs. Their heads need to poke out.
