they hatch from 72-80 days after theyve been layed
In march and April and beginning of may
They travel to the sea the minute they hatch from their eggs. All the baby turtles hatch at about the same time and the whole group will race to the water before predators come.
Answer feeding baby painted turtlesYoung painted turtles in our pond in Maine were fed tiny bits of lettuce from the farmer's market and raw hamburger via tweezers with great success. I have 7 baby painted turtles, I feed them bits of raw chicken, pieces of fish I've caught at the lake like brim ,but caution turtles can only eat under water, not on land, the water must be over the turtles at all time.
Box turtles hatch from an egg and their mothers are long gone. They never see their mother.
you should not put them together because tortioses live on land with little water. eastern painted turtles love water and spend most of their time in water. what i would do is get two different tanks to put them in. by the way eastern painted turtles are omnivores and hermann's tortoises are herbivores. the two wouldn't work together.
Baby painted turtles can be fed any time during the day, once a day. Allow they them to eat as much as they want for 30 minutes. Adults can be fed any time during the day, every other day. Let them eat as much as they want for 30 minutes to an hour. I recommend feeding your turtles in a separate tank because painted turtles are very messy! If you feed then in their tank then they will quickly ruin the water. That goes for any kind of turtle.
Red painted turtles are very good at swimming. Although they may not be super-fast, they can swim for long periods of time and know their way around. In fact, most turtles are good swimmers.
Mud turtles are Semi-Aquatic turtles. Even though they spend much more of their time in the water compared to Sliders, Painted and Map turtles, they do come out on land to bask or to travel to a new area.
No, they have to surface to breathe. They can go a long time between breaths though.
Well their incubation or gestation is about 3-6 months. As far as I now!!!!!
Box turtles lay 2-6, sometimes 8 eggs at one time. They bury them and a few weeks later they hatch and dig to the surface.
