General Care Discussion :: YAY!!! They're here!!!

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2006 4:01 pm   YAY!!! They're here!!!

My turtles are finally here!!! YAY!!! I ordered them from [name removed] a week ago and THEY FINALLY ARRIVED!!! I'm so happy! They're cute little hatchlings- proably an inch and a half or so. They look like they're healthy. They're in a 29 gallon tank, filled almost to the top because of the filter, and they swim so well in it! There's three of them and they all have their own little hiding spots- one likes to go behind the filter, one likes to go underneath the Zoomed basking dock, and one likes to hide behind the little flowerpot I put in there. They're basking already- the only problem is they won't eat. I'm sure they're just adapting to their new enviornment though. Tonight I'll try the tuna water trick. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions to ask in the future! :D :D :D

If they just arrived today, wait til tomorrow to feed them.
