How do you care for a pool while you are on vacation?
Run the system as normal but you may also add extra chlorine just before you leave. Or have a neighbor add about a gallon of chlorine or the same amount of chlorine you normally would use per each week you are gone. Of course, the amount of chlorine depends upon the size of the pool. You might also get him to brush or vac the pool ( with the added benefit of using it without abusing it).

What does a red slicer turtle eat?
Red-eared sliders are omnivores and eat a variety of animal and plant materials in the wild including, but not limited to, fish, crayfish,carrion, tadpoles, snails, crickets, wax worms, aquatic insects and numerous aquatic plant species. The captive diet for pet red-eared sliders should be a varied diet consisting of invertebrates such as worms, aquatic and land plants, and other natural foods. They should never be fed commercial dog food or cat food. Calcium (for shell health) can be supplemented by adding pieces of cuttlebone to the diet, or with commercially available vitamin and mineral supplements. A nutritious food readily accepted by young turtles is baby clams soaked in krill oil covered with powdered coral calcium. Younger turtles tend to be more carnivorous (eat more animal protein) than adults. As they grow larger and older, they become increasingly herbivorous. Live foods are particularly enjoyed and add to the quality of life of captive turtles. Providing a wide variety of foods is the key to success with captive red-eared sliders. For pet red eared slider turtles, one can feed them treats occasionally, like shrimp, chicken, cucumbers, or tomatoes. Larger turtles have been known to prey upon younger turtles.
