In the wild, baby red-eared slider turtles are more carnivorous than their adult counterparts. They need animal protein, so they feed on invertebrates such as earthworms, crickets,, aquatic snails, bloodworms, shrimp, krill and mealworms. In captivity, this need for animal protein can be met by these foods, or even fish foods which contain these items, while commercial pellets will also offer them the nutrients they need. Vegetation should be introduced while the turtle is young, even though it may not initially eat it, as it will make the transition to a herbivorous diet easier later on.
I do not know about your specific red eared sliders, but my two like to eat cucumber skin slices, carrots sliced very thin, turtle food pellets, small feeder fish, and dried shrimp. The last two are like chocolate for a human, and only to be given as treats, not daily. But the first three can be a daily food. And a R.E.S. turtle needs to eat some type of veggies or else they will develop a hard bump on the side of their head, the result of nutrient deprivation. This is very costly to fix (since I went through it) and best be avoided by giving them their balanced diet of pellets, treats, and veggies, just like a little kid. :)
Yes. My red ear slider turtles love to chase, catch and eat goldfish.
turtles mate just as much as others. yours may not LOVE eachother Turtles reproduce sexually and lay eggs as well. Turtles mate for up to fifteen minutes underwater.
Painted turtles are enormously vulnerable to a wide variety of predators. Nest predators include raccoons, foxes and skunks. Painted Turtles have many predators which include raccoons, foxes, skunks, gulls, crows, ravens, herons, weasels and snapping turtles.
Now That's Just Stupid. Snapping Turtles Are Carnivores, Not Herbivores.
It may survive, but it wouldn't be happy, they are water turtles! The love to swim and be in the water all the time, they only get out to sun bathe and dry their shells, to warm up, then they're back in the water again!
Female red ear slider turtles may display aggressive behaviors towards each other, especially when competing for resources or mating opportunities. Fighting among female red ear slider turtles is more commonly seen in captivity rather than in the wild due to artificial enclosure conditions. It is important to provide ample space, proper hiding spots, and a balanced diet to minimize aggression.
Turtles don't change color when they are in love.
Depending on the species, one or two. Turtles will keep growing through their entire lives, overcrowding or expecting them to only grow to the size of the tank is something that usually leads to dead turtles.
Box turtles love tomatoes.
Raccoons will feed on turtles, especially small ones. They especially love to eat turtle eggs.
