Feeding Aquatic Turtles 

Thanks brother! I appreciate your kind words. Nostalgia truly is amazing. I'm blessed to have given people happiness from this video, I was barely an adult when I made this video, now I am married with two kids with many life experiences. Crazy how time flies 😅 You sound very smart and must have a good heart caring for animals, keep up the good work in school bud! 💪

@@7ItalianStallion that’s crazy !! i really can’t wrap my head around how different things are. i’m happy for you and your family, and thank you for your well wishes :) sending nothing but positivity and vibes from across the globe. and thank you for being an integral part of my childhood 🫶

Thanks :) subscribe if you want more, I post at least one new video a week ^_^

Wow, you made an appearance here too?

Hey thanks! Sorry for the late reply! Hope they're all doing well, I'm about to check out your channel if you've got videos would be great! All that sounds good, just switch the green leaf lettuce for a type of lettuce that has far more sufficient vitamins like kale, collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion, etc and I stopped doing the goldfish and stuck with mostly guppies if anything and nightcrawlers as they are far healthier than goldfish and minnows😉

saweeeeet! great jobnthank you

Hahaha

Yeah I've made so many videos years ago of the meeting collard greens kale all different greens 😁 check out some of my other newer videos

hey np ; ) also, ive made other videos talking about fresh greens and frozen foods

Hahahahahahahaha

Hey that's great, yeah my turtles used to love eating apples, grapes, but no strawberries they were never really that big on those, but throw some pineapple in there and they go crazy. Try it one day when you cut open a fresh pineapple just throw the core in there and they'll chew it down to nothing. Same thing with a mango seed just toss it in and even the fish will try to eat the scraps. Yeah my turtles love the turtle sticks I don't know why yours don't maybe they're just not the right total sticks LOL some turtle pellets can be really trash but the riptomen sticks seem to be really loved by most. Yeah the romaine's not bad, if it was me I would try to get them on Kale or even collard greens would be better than the romaine. There are some zucchini in there they love that too, the worms the crickets, but even more than that they love the Frozen stuff too like Frozen calamari let it out chop it up for them they can be kind of rubbery and tough to eat if it's huge they might fight over the pieces if you like seeing that but sometimes it can be a little dangerous so I would just chop it up small for them. Frozen krill they freaking love that, bloodworms I used to feed to my fish but the turtles you know they have to get in there and grab a bite of that too. Live Brine shrimp is great for the fish in the tank sometimes the turtles would try to eat them but they're kind of small so usually get live fish and they'll chase them around too. So much stuff these little dudes can eat even crawfish but that can be a little dangerous. Not all turtles are as tough is the toughest one I ever had Raphael, that turtle would eat anything that walks or swims

Lauren Bellish common mud turtles can be kept with map turtles relatively easily if the tank size can accommodate both turtles

this was when I first setup the tank lol. within days i filled it up, just check my other videos : )

Caleb Austin with a out a doubt

Yes

Me too got my own turtle 55 gal setup with fish also in my garage i got a boxing bag setup with a bench press next to it. Stoners unite

@@secredeath fuck yea my stoner brothers lol been waiting to get a new place to set up the punching bag and the bench press again so I can toke up and beat the shit outta that bag pretend I'm Bruce Lee throwing punches kicks and making that crazy sound he would make lol oh and I can't forget the drum set too. Had an electric kit in this apartment for a while but I miss that acoustic drumkit bad gotta get me another one

o wow, never heard of that. thanks : )

Thanks man, im glad I helped :) subscribe and you'll see at least 1 new video a week if your interested

hey man thanks for your kind words :) I let my turtles roam around the apartment almost everyday. they love it and it seems to help with shedding because they are kept dry long enough. now i used to massage their shells with a toothbrush, but havnt in a long time. i also used to assist them with shedding white parts of their shell by scraping with a knife (carefully). i havnt needed to do this in years because their shells are so heathy. it's all about letting them stay dry long enough to dry the shell fully. my turtles still sometimes rub their shells on things too. perfectly normal and kinda funny too. looks like they're shaking their butt xD

ahahahaha

thanks bro ;)

shit i messed that up. * video is 6 years old haha

Michael Freeman

haha, np : ) yea I do once a day and sometimes every couple days and if you feed kale or other greens everyday you won't have to worry about overfeeding as much as you would with feeding pellets

Hopefully you've found out more info. Weeding through it all is a tough, long road. If you still have questions I'll try to help with what i can. ~Mom to 1 Female Yellow Bellied Slider, 1 Male False Map - Both 1 yr 4 months old.

Think of turtles (as well as any other pets) like Human beings. Give them a varied diet, clean their tank, and take care of them! Good Luck!

TheBBallEnthusiast exactly! ;)

My turtle is doing really well, I'm so happy. He is so picky and still alittle shy but doing great, Thanks!

Aww, that's awesome! Try feeding him Kale. Mine LOVE it!

Lolololololool

GoldenZentorno

No one fucking cares and it’s natural for them to be food

Its a joke.

Tell that to the turtle

I know right? It's like seeing the little run in the group moving along doing just fine. You would think that the little one would grow up to be a Savage because of the situation it was put in, but that turtle grew up to be the nicest sweetest turtle in the world. Donatella ❤️

Kyoto Saga How?

Chicken Gum

Stfu

this was when i first setup the tank 6 years ago. if you look at other videos of mine you will see beautiful natural looking habitats of all kinds over the years ;)

I was thinking the same thing dislike this is fish abuse

Oh like you guys don't eat meat. you sound like 5 year olds.

Cody Shelton nope

yeah, this is animal abuse. he should have cooked that fish first. XD

you BR ? huehue

+Follow For Gaming on Twitter! @GamerMoment and @PCVideoGaming havnt fed them goldfish in years. only did in the beginning until I found that they were too fatty and unhealthy to be used as feeders. thanks tho

But fish a natural for them to eat

wow, interesting. thank you my friend : )

Me too bro the painted turtles are sweet!

thanks bro. you got turtles?

Nah man. Ball pythons,2 of them. I originally wanted turtles and plans changed

nice, I plan on owning a ball python and a tree python as soon as I move. land lord would have a heart attack

Ball pythons can be a bit of a pain. Can be picky eaters and you need to constantly maintain temps and humidity

the temps and humidity shouldn't be too hard for me as I have experience with animals that need that, but the picky eaters thing could def be a pain for me as I wouldn't want to resort to killing a live mouse for the snake if it decides it doesn't want to eat it alive.

So sorry for the late reply. To make them want a basketball you have to put a heat light that's going to make them really appreciate it and also lower the temperature to about 70° so they'll be more inclined to get out of the water for the warmth. You can entice them with crickets as well if they see them hopping around on the platform or they jump into the water and then climb back up on the platform he'll climb out to get them and he'll see how warm it is up there on his own

lol. this video is like 5 years old. I put gravel in it weeks after I uploaded this video. go to my other uploads and youll see how it looks ; )

you are correct

no problem :) feed every couple of days and only as much as the size of their head, unless kale or collards, those are so light you can feed a few leaves :) this video is not an example of everyday feeding just so you know, it is just to show all different things they can eat. i also have made other videos that show what types of greens and frozen foods to feed :)

hahaha, I had a fish like that xD the docks are not that great. I used to stack two of the largest size dock and it worked great...when it wasn't floating around the tank from the suction cups being low grade. I recommend either stacking the docks and using some other means of attaching to the tank like you suggested with gluing, or buying a piece of cork and cutting it to fit the depth of the tank ao you can wedge it in place nice and snug.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

It's been so long I honestly can't recall. I believe I bought it in a store, but it could have been a store that's not a chain store as I used to go to many of those as they had much cooler stuff could order all different kinds of things at PetSmart and Petco couldn't. Hope you can find it it's been really really cool

special order through better stores than petco or craigslist
