Care of Turtles

Turtle urine in a very light yellow. The brighter the color, the healthier the turtle. If your turtle's urine appears to be clear, you may want to try some supplements or a visit to the vet as clear urine is a tell tale sign that your turtle may be sick.

There are a couple of reasons that your hatchling may not be eating. One is if he doesn't have the proper heat and light. RES turtles must have UVA and UVB light in order to digest food. Without it, they will eventually die. They must have heat as well.

If you have the proper heating and lighting for their tank, the problem is probably the food itself. Try "Reptomin Floating Food Sticks" for aquatic turtles, found in most pet stores and "Wal-Mart".

The Ankylosaurs is said to be the Painted Turtle's niche.

Yes, red eared slidersand yellow bellied slidersare both part of the slider family, so they are easy to cross breed. If you go to a pet shop, you will notice that most baby yellow bellied sliders have faint red 'ears' because they were interbred with red eared sliders.

My two turtles have lived with minnows that I bought to feed them for about two years without hurting one, but they do like pet goldfish. ; p

They make interchangeable tools for the construction and automotive industries.

Well, Baby Turtles Drown by having to much water in there bowl or aquarium.

Lack of food is a cause of losing energy which they can't swim.

The temperature can relate to the skelatel which hurts there bones.

If Something is over there head and can't get out.

Or they're to weak to move.

Yes. Although turtles breathe using their lungs like most animals, they also have a pair of sacs located within their butt, that take in water, and extract oxygen from it. So, they are capable of "breathing through their butts".

Only a very few turtle species can do this.

Well my friend has a turtle you put the food in the tank or whatever you have and you step away from it because they get really scared of you and they swim away from you but i suggest that you put some food in a bottle cap or something small so the turtle can get into and be able to eat it???

If you're an electrical engineer, you could probably cobble something together yourself. However, the heaters aren't particularly expensive, and if you don't know what you're doing, you could cause injury or death to your pet.

That is not likely. The virus that causes warts in humans is not carried by turtles. What a baby turtle can give you is a bad case of food poisoning if you don't wash your hands after handling it. Turtles and birds carry salmonella bacteria. Read what the FDA has to say about it at the link below.

I wouldn't recommend it.
