It makes me extremely sad to talk about this, my turtle has been in my family longer than I have. My turtle is about 23 years old and for the past recent years it’s been in awful shape and very neglected. We leave the turtle in a corner and sometimes forget to feed it, but its still alive. I am very ashamed and I realized how much that turtle has been part of my life. I saw baby turtles the other day in the street and now I want to change how my turtle has been living, so i have a few questions…
are there vets that will see turtles or is that stupid? I know there is vets for like cats, dogs and birds but never have I seen a turtle at a vet. My turtle’s water become extremely dirty in a matter of hours after bathing it, is there anything i can do about that? Should I get my turtle a heating light? Never have we used it before and my turtle continues to live, is it necessary at this point?
thanks! and also are there any tips that I can do take care of it?
and yes, my turtle is an red eared slider. my turtle is the size about a regular plate now and has a hard time turning in its tank, how big should i have the tank be…
and as for people saying to walk the turtle…thanks that is great advice but my turtle bites and has the longest claws! i have never actually touched it other than its shell and my parents usually clean it…should i still let it loose in the house? and as for having other turtle friends, is it okay to put baby turtles in with this huge one? thanks so much guys i love the information and advice i’m getting!
