General Care Discussion :: Question about Multiple Turtles

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

You should cook the chicken first.

If it were me, I'd hold out on the bribery foods for a little while longer. A lot of times, once turtles get junk foods like krill and chicken, they'll only want those foods and it can be very difficult to wean them.

How long has it been since you've had your turtle? Is your water temp around 78F?
Water temp is crucial to encouraging eating in cold blooded animals since their bodies regulate themselves based off the environmental temps.

I'v had Franklin for almost a week. Tomorrow will make it a week.

And the water temp is about 72. I need to make it a litttle warmer for him. I'v ordered most of his supplies off the internet so his heater and all that other good stuff should come soon.
Hey Its Franklin !
