Your turtle may not be eating because he is new, but if he is sneezing too he may have PNEUMONIA. PNEUMONIA Symptoms - refusing to eat, sneezing, bubbling at the nose/runny nose, raspy noise when breathing & lethargy. Possible Causes - Pneumonia is caused by damp, cold, draughty conditions. Having warm water & cold air can also cause it, & visa versa. Solution/Prevention - FATAL IF NOT TREATED - TAKE TURTLE TO VET! Immediately move turtle to warm dry housing. Use a tungsten light to warm air temperatures. Fix problems in regular enclosure by ensuring land & water temps. are both warm. Stop draughts from windowa and doors. In Winter place a lid over the basking area of your turtle's enclosure. With thanks to TJ Thornton's book: 'Keeping Red-eared Turtles in New Zealand'
It might be a picky eater. Or if you feel that it is sick you should look up your question because there is a possibility someone had the same question and had it answered. I suggest Yahoo answers. If you cannot find the answer get your pet check at the doctors quickly. My guinea pig wouldn't breathe correctly when I got it. I soon found out that it had respiratory and heart problems. A simple check-up can help a lot. Your pet may have problems in health, or it just doesn't like the food your giving it so you should try new foods and if that doesn't work you should take your pet to the animal hospital for a small check-up, or call them if you want. It can do so much for you and your pet.Or feed it inside of water if you feed it on dry land it wont eat.
i don't exactly know but i had the same problem. When i tried to feed my turtle pellets and dried bugs and shrimp he wouldn't eat it. But when my freind put a live cricket in his water he gulped it down and now he has been eating normak ever since... hope i helped
Yes. My red ear slider turtles love to chase, catch and eat goldfish.
female red ear slider have a much shorter tail then the male.
Very little
Red Ear Slider Turtles eat a variety of foods. Yes, they will crickets, you can also feed dried shrimp, pellets, krill, or blood worms.
your red ear slider isn't eating because they are timid animals and it is probaly scared of you try fider fish first if that dosent work the put in floating pellets and leave the room.
No. No animal will eat so much that it will explode.
Yes, pond hyacinth is fine. Turtles can eat that plant.
No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The shark will eat it! Don't even take the chance!!
As a rule of thumb, you should not feed your turtle anything bigger than his head. Aquatic or semi aquatic turtles can eat fish. However, if you have them in a tank, even with filtration, it can cause an oily film on the surface of the water.
Sliders need a varied diet not just one type of food. As they get older - they become more vegetarian in their dietary needs. A comprehensive list of food items can be found in the Wikipedia entry on the species (see related link)
red eared slider turtles will eat alot of things like:guppies,snails,shrimp,somtimes crab or hermit crab,tetra fish(cloud white or glo lite),minnows,and somtimes even other turtles.
No, because a red-eared slider lives in ponds and lakes and garter snakes live in grassy fields. They also have different humidity requirements.
