General Care Discussion :: Solo looking good

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:44 am   Solo looking good

Hello All,

Been a few months since ive been able to post, Solo seems to be doing just fine. Ive upgraded to a 55G aquarium and he really loves the extra depth I think. It allows him to sleep in the little fake bonsai and have his nose just above the water line. Transferred with him, were 2 of my original 5 rosys. He ate the other guys months ago, but really seems disinterested with these 2. One of the 2 remaining has gotten big, and goes after solos treats, solo gets mad and chases him for a few seconds and gives up. The rosy has almost gotten clipped on more than 1 occsasion. Should I be worried about Solo getting him because of his size ??? Could he choke on this thing ? Anyway, as always I appreciate any feedback..

There's really very little choking risk with rosies. Usually if the rosy is too large your turtle will simply rip it apart to eat it, I've seen mine do it on several occasions.
