Hello,
I am fairly new to the turtle world. I came across this site from an article in a magazine I got at Petgoods yesterday. I recently got 3 red eared slider turtles. They are 6-9 weeks old. I've had them now for a week. We set up an aquarium with filter, heater, lights, sunning dock. My biggest problem is getting them to eat!
I read your post and it says it takes a while etc. I have hatchling food by Zoomed and I bought the baby reptomin sticks. I also bought blood worms. All they will eat are the blood worms. I find it's very frustrating not having them eat.
I also noticed that the shell of one is softish. That is not good I know. Do you know of a vitamin I could give with an eye dropper? I was at 2 pet stores and couldn't find any type of vitamin that didn't have to be dusted on food. I know they need calcium and Vitamin D3 but being new am not familiar with the resources available other than the local pet stores. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I would suspect snapping turles are similar to the slidders?
Thanks.
Joann
