Hi all!
About two weeks ago, I purchased a baby red eared slider. As I learned more about this reptile, I’ve continually progressed with caring for him/her. We started out in a pet carrier, then a storage container, now I have set up a beautiful 10 galllon with lots of room for the turtle. He/she seems happier now and is swimming all over the place! I really love my turtle and want to give it the best care so that hopefully we’ll grow old together.
My husband purchased some meal worms (live), floating repto min, and today more repto min. I noticed, since I’ve gotten the turtle he/she hadn’t eaten one bit! I’m worried that the turtle may become sick and die. I read that baby RES can take time getting used to the new habitat, but two weeks seems like a stretch. How can I get the turtle to eat, or make it more comfortable.
Also, is it normal for the turtle to climb on the decorative plants? It seems so happy now!
