How should I take care of a red ear slider turtle and baby turtles?

Answer by  shannab (117)

You must make sure you have all of the right equipment (lights, aquarium, food, etc. ) needed. Without a light(these can be purchased at a pet store), they won't live long. You have to feed them daily. You also need to make sure you clean their aquariums when needed.

You will need at a 20 gallon fish tank with an area set up for basking. They must have a UVA/UVB light. Turtles need to eat a varied diet.

Your tank requires proper lighting and a place (like a rock) for basking. The tank should be filtered since turtles tend to get messy. You also need to fill the tank with water and aquatic plants.

That is a far too general question to answer properly here, however they are not easy to care for and very specific.. i have 3.. the biggest mistakes that people tend to make are not enough/too much water.. the temp of the water.. over feeding (they are beggars do NOT over feed them).

Make sure they have a lot of artificial/natural sunlight to keep the turtles from getting shell rot. Also, make sure you have a declorinator for the water(they come in a container and are used as drops. ) Chlorinated/tap water will harm the turtles. It is also nice to have a log for them to play on.
