Can a turtle eat rabbit pellets?
No, rabbits can only eat pellets made specifically for rabbits -- and only high-quality ones that are healthy (not all of them are). Pigs and rabbits have very different digestive systems, and very different nutritional needs: they don't eat the same foods and can't eat the same pellets, or else they'll get sick. For instance, rabbits are herbivores, but pigs are omnivores. See the related questions below for more details and helpful links.
Should Map turtles sleep under water with their eyes open?
No,but if it is cheek it's eyes for swelling and blindness other wise bye some turtle eye droppings at petsmart!
While turtles have no real need to play, I'd think it would be boring to just swim around all day. If you have more than one turtle in a tank, they'll be more than occupied with eachother. If you only have one, I'd recommend adding a couple items to your tank for use as boredom busters like a rubber ball. Make sure the toys you give to your turtle are far too large for them to swallow. Although I have four turtles living together in a tank, I still give them toys. I have set a small mirror beside my tank for my turtles to see themselves. That is very entertaining for them because turtles cannot recognize their own reflections. I also have a little scuba diver that they like to pass to eachother. I think it's as much fun to watch as it is fun for them to play.
If the UV lamp falls in your turtle's tank will it be electrocuted?
There is an electrical charge going through the water when this happens, you can also get this from a broken heater. But the turtles are not affected because they are not grounded. Its the same thing as having a live wire lay across your car, the tires insulate you. You should remove the lamp as quickly as possible because of toxins, taking care that you don't ground yourself or you will get the shock. unplug the lamp first then remove it. Usually good to do a complete water change after this in case any toxins are left in the water. your turtle could get shocke dfrom the light. just think of it if your in the bathtub and a light fell in- you would get shocked! jut dont let it happen
