3 inches of water for 4 days, they should be alright. If they're really small and/or babies you might want to include a little rock for them to be on. But as long as you feed them and they can be in the sun to bask, they should be fine. :)
Yes, they are aquatic turtles. They can survive out of water, but this leads to death by dehydration after a few days. I would only recommend removing them from water for a max amount of 4-6 hours a day.
Red-eared sliders lay eggs by digging a hole in the ground near water, usually in sandy or soft soil. The female turtle then lays a clutch of eggs in the hole, covers them with soil, and leaves them to incubate. The eggs hatch after about 60-90 days, and the baby turtles dig their way out of the nest and make their way to the water.
Not at all. Red Eared Sliders need pure sunlight from the sun for 2-3 hours every 2 or 3 days. It will help streghen bones and grow shell.
Fresh water, with a strong filter. Change water once every month.
Red-Eared Slider can stay dry for days to weeks, but they cannot eat without water, I mean enough water to site in while eating as they cannot swallow without the ad of water. If you are transporting the red-Eared being dry is okay, keeping a turtle as a pet dry will be almost considered torture as they will slowly die of starvation and dehydration

Yes- There are red-eared sliders that live in ponds and lakes. They are quite big and they feed on ducks, frogs and anything they can get hold of. In winter they hibernate and on sunny hot days they all sit on logs floating in the water basking.

Well, I have two red-eared sliders. And I just fill their tank with a lot of small rocks since I go to the beach sometimes, and I have so many rocks in my backyard. You don't have to do that, but then the "droppings" and food that's not eaten would sink to the floor and your turtle(s) would be swimming in it. If you have rocks, sometimes those things are buried underneath. I also have like small "trees" for decorations, and a shallow rock. If your turtle(s) are big and you realize the tank is REALLY dirty when you clean it, you should get a bigger tank or clean it more often. I clean mine 3-4 days and by then, it's really dirty. Well I hope this helped! If you have any more "caring for turtles" questions, just ask me!
