Franklin and Aj are 2 yellow bellied sliders? My friend had them for 2 years in a ten gallon with hardly any water, and did not feed them that often, she fed them though.
Well, I rescued them from her and put them in my nice ten gallon, and started feeding them on an every-other day basis... They are about 1 inch in shell length, and have been that way ever since she got them. The swim a lot, and Bask a lot. They eat all of their food too. They just do not seem to be growing.
The water in the aquarium is 3/4 full, and there is a turtle ramp for them to get up on. So, there is PLENTY of room to swim (since they are so tiny).
Does anybody know why they are staying so small? Or will they hit a growth spurt sometime soon? They are over 2 years old, and I have had them since October. So, any replies would be very helpful. And they seem to be incredibly healthy as well.
Thanks for taking you time out to help!
