Care of Turtles

It's just a coincidence. He can breathe bubbles out of his nose just like you can.

My answer in no because according to the video from national geographic channel adult tortoises maybe eat octopus but its diet eats jellyfish, baby turtles get eaten by octopus.

TOTALLY!

No, they only breathe air. They need a place to rest above the water.

If you are asking why you can't find a turtle in a pet shop, it's because in some state, it's illegal. This is because they can carry many diseases. When I was looking for a turtle, I had to get one when I was on vacation in South Carolina. I live in Indiana, and they don't sell them their. However, if you go to a lake, you might be able to catch one. It's not illegal to have them, just to sell one.

They're called "Galapagos tortoises." They are vegetarian and eat fresh grasses, but also enjoy "poison apples," which are toxic to humans, guava and water fern, but also eat cactus, leaves, vines, and other fruit.

A lot of people mistakenly call tortoises "turtles." A turtle is water-dwelling (either sea or fesh water), omnivorous and flat shelled, while tortoises are land-dwelling, vegetarian, and have dome-shaped shells. Also, tortoises are really, really slow (average speed for a Galapagos tortoise is .18 mph!) and turtles are actually surprisingly fast.

yes as long as its only one or two pieces at a time and not covered in fungus

they look really cut

Jasminum polyanthum, commonly known as pink jasmine, is not considered toxic to tortoises. However, it's essential to ensure that tortoises have a varied diet primarily consisting of safe, leafy greens and vegetables. While this plant may not be harmful, it's always best to consult a veterinarian regarding specific dietary needs for your tortoise. Monitoring any new plant introductions is advisable to ensure your pet's health.

Usually its O.K. to keep females together, just closely observe for the first day. If you see any biting or chasing around you may have to separate them.

The shell is hard.

Often, a turtle will keep its mouth open when it feels it needs to protect itself. Yellow-ear sliders will bite and their mouths are very dirty. Always wash your hands after handling your turtle.

Only if you're a total a$$hole.

Sea turtles can stay under water for almost their whole life! One of the only times they come out of the water is when they are going to lay there eggs because they lay there eggs on land and leave them and then the babies have to find there way back to sea all by themselves. Most of them get eaten by seagulls on their way so that's why there are not so many sea turtles... Most of them get eaten.

The best way to tell is to weigh the turtle on an appropriately sized scale and compare that weight to the average for that species of turtle. Average sizes and weights for most turtles can be found on the Internet.

no. that's for creatures with gizzards such as birds 'alligators and crocodiles NOT turtles. if your turtle IS eating small rocks you should talk to a vet. :)

No, of course not. If a turtle is upside-down underwater, it means that it is drowning. At those times, you must save them quickly before they drown.
