GULP !!! THEY EAT ALL KINDS OF FISH!!
****Austinsturtlepage.comâ has all info on care and feeding RESCUING and PICTURES for all land and aquatic turtles.
*** Ten gallons per inch of each turtle!! Sliders, westerns, easternâs, cooterâs , midland, painted, map, yellow bellied ,are all are basically the same and require the same basic care.
If you are sold a turtle under 4â then it is illegal and gives of a sickness called salmanela.
They will bite VERY hard. Under 4" they carry a disease called 'salmonella'. So you should wash after every handling ANY size turtle or reptile anyway
** EACH 4" turtle needs a 55 gallon tank to start anything would be cruel. Two turtles 75 to 100 gallons.
***And my pictures don't lie. All ages and all sizes get along as long as their is allot for SWIM ROOM and PLENTY TO EAT! They can become cannibalistic if you have 2 or more turtles and a small environment. They will kill off the smallest and then fight for the tank for themselves.Mine get along cause they have an abundance of food to eat...we do get a few lil fights cause one female to 4 males...poor gal!
They NEED calcium and protein they get it from the fish meat and the fish bones. Drop 30 or 50 or so feeder guppies or small goldfish or just drop in the tank and watch them disappear in a few days!
Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA/UVB for up to 8 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow.
TOSS in a bird cattle bone in the water for calcium that will promote better shell growth, it will dissolve real slowly and if they eat it thatâs fine!!
**Remember, you need a heater...set at 83 / 85 degrees. If water is cold they will stop eating!
Plus I also feed dried cubed blood worms or tubiflex worms or pellets at least 5 times a week for my five..
They can have garden worms which I collect after a good rain and dump them in the pond, also meal worms, snails, crickets, flies, crayfish small frogs, slugs, tadpoles, ghost shrimp , dragon flies and anything that moves, but only as a treat.
They need leafy greens Romaine, Butter lettuce. (Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any other leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 4 to 5 times a week.
They love grapes and strawberries and squash , apples cut up..
**** If these are hatchlings a 1â and a tad over they may need to have their live food half dead by leaving the fish out of water for a few minutes (10minutes) and put in the tank. That way the baby can get the meat he needs and the fish canât out run the baby turtle.
Plus âsome leafy greenâ and vitamin A âfruitsâ cut up a COUPLE times a week.â Swollen cloudy eyes comes from lack of Vitamin

Marshall
http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3140459#prodTab1
I was thing this 1 are there any other good cages?
Answer
well, this one is EXACTLY 100
http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753352
but I don't know about that hammock..then there's shipping
the one you picked looks perfect, but watch for plastic chewing.
You don't want a giant cage that's all platforms and tubes, because you still want lot's of running space and places to put their toys.
You could try building your own cage! I hear bin cages are great for hamsters, but don't know about rats.
A really cheap cage would to just get an aquarium..but like a really big one, like a 20 gal.
This is a site of ALL rat supplies, but the stuff is REALLY expensive. You could still check it out, though. Maybe you'll find something else you need. And sometimes, you get what you pay for!
