Red ear sliders are a commonly sold pet at most pet stores, so it should be no problem finding a turtle companion
There's a website called turtleshack.com and its great! They have lots of turtles that can be shipped to your home, including babies.
well, a "slider turtle", or a red eared slider always has a red line where their ears would be. that's obviously how they get the name!
most of the time you will find a dug up area and that is more in likly there nest:)

I own one and you can find them in any pet store in arizona.
wait if they stick there head up for air then you can see it if the pond is big your not going to find him/her vary easy
They are mostly found in an pet shop
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.
stick a gold fish in their y don't u find it out yourself
I am trying to figure out the same thing about my turtle. I found him at the beach (and no he's not a sea turtle) about a year and a half ago, and he is still only about 2 inches big. But anyways the only thing I have been able to find out for sure is that if it has a red stripe on its cheak then it is a red eared slider. but this website might help: http://www.turtlecare.net/what.htm
I find that my Baby Turtles have their own personalities, I have 3 red Ear sliders, 3 yrs, 1yr, 8mos old. My babies like to play with each other most of the time. Turtles are community animals, they should be in pairs.
are you putting your turtle into a separate tank when feeding him? sometimes this helps - but make take some time. i find it easiest to just feed my turtles in their main tank. maybe try "reptotreat" by tetra - they make dried, natural shrimp - maybe this will give your turtle the sense of something more "real" than the pellets but not as difficult as the minnows.
What kind of turtle is it? Turtles like painted turtles and slider turtles should be fine. But turtles like musk, mud, or soft shell turtles would have trouble reaching the surface to breath. Do some research on your turtle and find out what their habitat should be. Deep or shallow.
