[cameron740]

Hi guys and gals!!!! I have a 3 baby red ear sliders amd a big 7 inch red ear slide. So one of my babies is scaring the other 2 baby turts off the basking platfor by going over and biting them!!! I was wondering if i could out squirt (the one thats scaring the other too) in the tank with my big turt i could go slow and let them get used to each other plz any ideas bcuz i dont any money tight now for a new tank or anything. Thanks for the help guys!!!!

Definitely not a good idea. A 7 inch turtle could kill a baby turtle, and turtles aren't really like cats and dogs, they may not ever get used to each other. You may need to look into rehoming some of the turtles if you can't provide them with separate tanks. I had my two turtles together for years and recently had to separate them because of agression that seemingly came out of nowhere.

So can i at least see if he will do good with the big turtle?

One bad bite and baby turtle could die... doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

I have a Dexter (6-inch male) in the tank and Orion (1-inch map) and they don't fight or anything.
