If you have 2 baby red ear sliders and one keeps biting the other one's foot should they be separated or is it doing it by accident? |
Answer
separate them if you can provide them both with adequate heat, light, filtration, and water. it might just be that the one that is biting is either hungry, or trying to fight (they could both be males).
More Information
My first question is how are you housing them? Are they in a pond, a bowl, an aquarium? Turtles need to be able to get away from one another fairly easily. Bowls don't work (even for a lone turtle), and only a single turtle should be kept in an aquarium. Only a pond provides enough space for turtles to swim past one another without coming two close - should one be "grumpy". Turtles WILL kill one another if not given a proper habitat - so do be careful.
