Red Eared Slider Turtle Care: Everything you need to know
Today’s video is all about Red Eared Slider Care. I will review everything that you need in their tank, and the different tasks you need to do to make sure they are happy and healthy.
One of the most important jobs for taking care of a red eared slider is to ensure that they have a balanced, healthy diet. You should feed them a combination of 2-3 different types of pellets, and once your turtle turns 5 years old, you should start integrating vegetables into their diet. Red eared sliders also love to hunt, so you can also feed them live crickets or worms to help activate their natural hunting skills.

I Made My Turtle a Salad! How to get your turtle to eat vegetables
I have a baby res and its eyes a swollen shut. I was wondering if i could do something like this and now i will try because i don't think the vet i'm going to is right and they are giving wrong injections thanks for the video!
Thank you. Great info and I’m glad I actually live with the person that brought the healthy red eared slider into our home. But I’m enjoying learning more.
Wow this video so simple Order video all so hard literal shopping a math problem
My turtle hal bubble around his eyes my tank is mostly clean filter is clean may turtle is eating properly at least till now But he is taking taking long breaths like swelling his neck There are no vet near 200km around What should I do
My turtle are not eating food since 2 months and it's have a problem with ther eyes and they make some sounds when they breathe 😢 wt to do sir
maybe it’s hard water? out of my 3 turtles my albino one has the same white spot on their plastron
Thank you so much ! We should found out our yellow bellow ate 3 feeder fish.. could this cause the problem? Only 1 eye is barley open
Just make sure that down wire kind of thing ( downwards towards water ) it should not hurt turtle as they scratch sometime
My turtle won't eat anything rather than boiled egg and pieces of shrimp and dried mealworm, so basically, just protein. I tried feeding her all kinds of vegetables, and she wouldn't eat any of'em. She's also been nervous and a bit scared for the past week.( I had her for almost 9 months) plss give me some advice.
Hi. You should go without feeding for 2-3 days. And then when she’s hungry, give her the vegetables. Make sure the vegetables are cut up in really small pieces.
Great video but I have a question. What store do you recommend me to buy a tank??
They love the dried shrimp but don’t care for the pellets, should I just leave them for a couple days and give them pellets to try and force feed it to them? I don’t want to mainly give them the shrimp
Yeah definitely. Don’t feed them for 2-3 days, and then give them the pellets when they are hungry and they will probably eat them.
Great tips man!
Thank you!
Im panicking i deff cant afford anything literally out of work my turtles havent ate uhm please reach out im stressed my kids are upset
I suggest just doing a full clean of their tank. And try to slightly increase the temperature of the water and basking area, as that can help speed up their metabolism. If that doesn’t work, try putting them in a separate small container of water and put the food in there.
Thank you bro definitely subscribed a lot of help
@@stephannunez1490 thank you I really appreciate it!
Today I got two turtles of the same species (Red Eared Slider Turtle), but I have some problems They were brought in without a proper environment (for your information, the tank is very small) I don't think my home environment would help them grow well (especially since I have younger siblings) Do you have any advice? I don't want anything to happen to them :(
Is that filter you use quiet or does it make a noticeably loud humming sound?
We cant get my daughters Painter turtle to go up on her basking area and get out of the water. Is it ok to take her out and let her run around her bedrm if we are with her?
@@NicciA1982 how long have you had her?
This is really helpful learning from your experience.
my red ear slider has very long nails. I’m not sure if it’s safe to trim them
It’s common for female red eared sliders to have long nails. While some people do cut them, it’s pretty risky because it can cause a lot of pain and blood if you don’t do it correctly
Great video .. would love to have one not sure we can in the United Kingdom cause they are classed as invasive species
Wow I didn't know that. I just looked it up and it says they have been banned from sale, import, breeding, or exchange. That's a bummer.
Thank you! I appreciate all your videos ❤
Thanks for watching!!
Can I apply these care tips to my Mexican Slider?

Hey I just got this turtle a day ago a little red eared slider super small I keep trying to feed her pellets but she just won’t eat it’s been like 12 hours not sure if the carnival fed her already any tips?
@@JasonTran-ix3sz hey, it’s totally normal for a new turtle to not eat for 2-3 days as it gets accustomed to its new environment. Just make sure that the turtle pellets you have are small so that your turtle can fit them easily in their mouth. Also, your turtle might be afraid, so put the food in the water and then leave for a little bit so it gets comfortable enough to eat.
@@turtleholic thanks for the tip, my turtle started eating his pellets and a little bit of lettuce but he has to be alone. Also should I keep a lamp on near him during night time.
My little turtle has white eye swollen.now it fully spread to one eye and started to spread to the other. Is this carrot soak good for that infection ? if it is.How often should do the treatment for recovery ? Is it should do daily or how? Please please reply to this....😢
And I want to know how long should the turtle be kept in that water? Is it two min.only or keep it going all day?
Hi, they can stay in the carrot water for around 10 minutes. And the carrot water can help your turtle if the swollen eye is caused by vitamin deficiency. However, it will not be able to cure an infection. Unfortunately that will require a visit to the vet.
@@turtleholic thank you so much❤️.he was cured through that remedy
I’m so thankful for finding your page turtleholic ❤❤❤ my turtle eyes have closed n I’m trying to do everyone o can to get them back open
how is your turtle doing now?? any improvement?
@@turtleholic he was improving but I lost him yesterday😥😥😥🙄☹️ I put him out in the grass for a little sun light and he is gone 🥺😨 he wasn’t even outside long 😩 but his eyes did open back up 😍😍😍😍
How do you know if you get a male or female turtle as a baby?
I just asked the pet shop. But for red eared sliders, the size of their nails and tail can help indicate their gender.
Which filter you are using
I use this one: amzn.to/48l6QrF
Thank you so much ! Very helpful and enjoyable I really appreciate your time

What do I do if my turtle doesn’t like fruits or vegetables
I suggest not feeding them for 2-3 days, and then when they are really hungry, try vegetables
Look awesome! Too bad it can’t be delivered to the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks!! Hopefully one day!
Great videos. I have a quetsion. Besides sponge, do you use other media such as cermaics to promote bacteria growth? Thanks.
Hi, I probably should, but I don’t. So far my filters have been able to keep the water pretty clean, and I would have to get a whole new filter to fit ceramics
@@turtleholic Thanks.
Appreciate all the research and tips u give us 🎉
Thank you!
I have kept ours for 17 years
That’s impressive!
I love your shirt. Are going to sell them too? I'm down for a couple. Good luck on your business 😊
Thank you!! Maybe I’ll sell the shirts in the future!
I just bought it. You need to the sell the shirt too
@@calinkstudios Thanks you!!
I have two RES turtles that i think are about seven years old. Their shells are seven to eight inches long, and i think they're female. I'm very new to the turtle world. My problem is finding a good vegetable based food for them to eat. Ive tried kale, carrots, and zucchini. Obviously there are a lot more options ,but i really want something in a pellet form that i can monitor easily. All the products i see available are loaded with animal protein. Ive got jars and jars of that. Can you recommend something for me? Help me Obee Won Kenobi, you're my only hope...
What worked best for me was not feeding my turtle for 2-3 days. And then when she got really hungry, she was way less picky and started eating the vegetables. Maybe just try to cut up the veggies extra small.
You are amazing we support you 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
hey turtlehloic, i got some new baby turtles 3 days ago but they arent eating, is that normal?
That’s very normal. They will probably start eating in the next couple of days. Just make sure that their food is small enough to easily fit in their mouth.
@@turtleholic Thank you so much, now im realived and they are eating now
it looks awesome, much success to you and Penny! (consider sending a free sample to our friend Gunso in Japan!)

Can a turtle bask to much?
Basking by itself won’t be too harmful, but the problem is that a lot of times, a turtle will start basking a lot when they get sick, so it might be a sign of an illness.
Everything you see in his setup is in adequate once your turtle gets big don’t be cheap and buy products for full grown turtle sizes the first time around ! Turtles grow fast
