to Mary, CA I think start feeding him purchased turtle food again then he might perk back up, the shrimp is too rich he needs a balanced diet -we don't let the kids eat only candy just because they won't eat their vegetables - all living creatures are basically like people...

Mary, CA | Turtles
I have a red eared slider that I have had its whole life. It is now about 7 inches in diameter. He lives in a large hated tank with a heat lamp, out of water access. He quit eating purchased turtle food a few years ago. He eats defrosted frozen shrimp. He doesn't feel well lately. He might be blind. Doesn't react to us or feeding time lately. The food goes uneaten. He mainly sits under the heat lamp or on the ramp leading to it out of the water. What should I do? There are no vets treating reptiles where I live.

Gaz, TX | Turtles
Ive had pet turtles my whole life. I used to catch them and mark them and release them back into the wild. I found that they are very habitual, because i could catch a turtle mark him and release him somewhere else, but they would go back to their original location. They are also more intelligent than people give credit for. When my current turtle was a baby, i started feeding him a certain number of food sticks. He would take them from my fingers. After a while, he knew how many I was going to feed him, because after the number was reached, he would stop begging. So if you have an aquarium set up, you might want to change its layout every month or so to keep the turtle entertained. Also, put some gold fish in with him. Make sure you watch him for a few hours though. If he tries to catch the goldfish, hold him still. After a few hours the fish will learn how to avoid the turtle, and you can have both in the aquarium. Then any new dumb fish u put in will still be eaten, and u can stiill have pet fish. The fish also help to keep the aquarium cleaned up. My aquarium and the filter became contaminated w/ little clear worms at one point that hatched from eggs in his food and the turtle stopped eating at one point. I avoided having to throw away a $200 aquarium setup by putting the smaller feeder goldfish in the aquarium, and they ate them to extinction! Turtle is happier than ever! Some people are asking about the sex of the turtles. From what I can tell, the male turtles have long nails in the front for mating, they also have longer thinner tails than the females in most species.

i looked on the computer and i saw that how you can tell the diffrence of a female and a male turtle. 1-if the belly sticks out it's a female, but if the belly goes in it's a male. 2-the male's nails are realy long at age 5-4 years of age but it will be the opposit for the female. 3- and there is usualy a hole under the tail if it's more under the shell it's a girl if it's more out of the shell it's a male

this answer is to shayrae of ca, john of tx, and talha of ky. your turtles probably won't eat because either their food is not in the water or they may want some privacy which means they will eat if no one I MEAN NO ONE watches them eat.I had three turtles and currently i have two one of which has terrible shell rot.

Ok so if you want to know if a turtle is a boy or girl then look at the bottom of its shell. If its dent like then its a boy if its straight then its a girl. If a turtle isnt eating his/her food its probably normal because they can go up to a month without food. (an eastern box turtle)

Maybe you don't understand the male and female resonings. Long fingernails, longer tails and an indented plastron make it a male. opposite for female... Wild turtles can be kept indoors as pets and the food has to go in the water for aquatic turtles, otherwise they can't swallow...And some turtles are carnivourous. Make sure you know what it is before you start only feeding it lettuce..

Teresa, CO | Turtles
Dear people who want to know if their turtle is a girl or a boy. Usually the ones with longer tails and longer nails and a inwards bottom shell is a male. The gals are the ones with a flat or stick out bottom shell and they have shorter nails and tails than the males and their shell might be bigger. tip:DO NOT let your turtle flip over. from your advisor, TLR

To brittany Your turtles can see you. You might think that they are blind but they have 2 eyelids on each eye one to protect their eyes when they are swimming in the water and they kind of make the turtle look blind. from teresa
Teresa, CO | Turtles
dear people who need help with turtle care When you first get a turtle its best to get it clean by brushing its shell with a soft toothbrush. Use a plastic tote or a 40 gallon terrarium to put them in have some gravle on the bottom and a rock that they can climb on and sunbathe. Now, for the food put a calcium block or cuttle bone in the water so they can chase it and naw on it. Feed it any green leafy vegggies and earthworms, mealworms and bugs and you can also feed it turtle sticks and pellets it is good to put calcium dust on their food because they often suffer from calcium deficiency.Do not let the food fall in the water otherwise it will rot. You also need a ultraviolet light or UBV light. With Land turtles, you should put a dish of food in the turtle's tank, leave it for no more than 2 hours, then remove it and offer it again later, up to 3 times a day if the turtle will eat that often.Feed it Veggies.Even though your turtle is a land turtle it still needs a large water bowl with water halfway up their body so they can cool themselves. The way you know if your turtle is a boy or a girl is look at its bottom shell, if it is flat or rounded than it is a girl if it caves in than it is a boy. please feel free to ask me any other thing about turtles. from T.L.R.

To imp hunter,Brianna and Shandee I just bought two water turtles I feed them cucumber and turtle pelets and lettuce Some bigger turtles don't eat as much as the little ones but I think that's normal My turtles do that too. to tell the diference between a male and a female look at its bottom shell, if it convex than its a girl and if it is concave than It's a boy. Put a cuttle bone or a calcium block into your turtles tank for them to knaw on. Also, they need a warm and a cool place to rest so put a rock in its tank for them to climb on and bath. Be sure to get a deep tank so they won't exape. Some times you can take it out and let it explore, just plug any holes with a towel. Change the water every day or twice a day just to make sure it dosent get sick. from your resercher, T.L.R

Shiny, metallic, gold spots have been showing up all over my male RES turtle's shell. My turtle seems to be perfectly healthy and has a nice strong shell. Does anyone know what these spots are?

booboo, your turtle doesn't need a leash. Just let her go in the yard and watch her. She'll be fine as long as u contain any other animals u may have.
