I work at a pet store and know nothing about turtles, so I'm watching your videos so I know what to recommend to people and so i dont spread misinformation. Your videoes are very informative :)

Watching this at school😌 all for my little guy

I recently bought myself a red eared slider and watching your channel really helped me understand what the turtle needs and how to proply care for so thank you for all the informative videos

Can we just appreciate all the research this girl had to do just for us?

lol so i have to vent so i was given a RES almost ten years ago, when i was like 6-7. i obviously didn't know how to care for him and my parents never bothered to research we didn't properly care for him pretty much the entire time and i feel horrible for him. i've spent the past six months researching and learning how to make sure he's as healthy as possible. he deserves the world and it seriously pisses me off that it just. never occured to me that my parents don't know what they're doing despite them historically being horrible pet owners

I watch all of ur videos and they have helped me with my 3 baby turtles and they’re getting so big!!❤️🥰

Thank you for being so honest about why medical needs should be discuss with a vet. Also thank you for explaining on how to provide maintenance care. :-)

Thanks so much for all the info you provide! Learning so much

Great information. Something that should be very helpful. Love the spotted turtle.

I am planning on getting a turtle soon and your videos are really helpful:)

So informative❤️ Thanks for the video

I love the turtle in the backyard so energetic and cool looking. I got a African Sideneck he’s a shy little guy but yeah his name is Frederick and I love your turtle he looks sooo cool

I really needed this :) thank you for this video! I loved it

Great video. Great information. Thank you for sharing. Peace, love and blessings

We just adopted a 4 year old red eared slider. The previous owner was very helpful, he came and helped us set up the tank. We were told to feed him pellets twice a day. He hasn't shown any interest in the pellets in the 5 days that we've had him, I keep netting them out. He did eat a bite or two of romaine, and he does seem to love a bit of scrambled eggs (no oil). Your video on feeding says to feed every few days, and that makes me a little less anxious about his picky appetite, but why won't he eat the pellets? FYI, he is a rather large dude, with a shell of about 7" long, we have him in a 65 gal. Your videos are a lifesaver!

Love these videos! Thanks so much!

I’m excited to watch your videos 😀my mom is considering getting me a turtle 🐢

I found a boxie in this long ditch , once in they can’t get out. She has a big chunk of shell based off above her head, she’s lethargic, she has white on her shell. I have found many turtles in there and most had not fly infestation. That’s really gross but I love getting the larvae out and the turtles can start getting better. Thanks for all your help!

Thx SOOO much cuz i didn't know what to do to take care of my turtle shell

Great video, thanks

My cousin Amber has a southern painted turtle. She got her 2 months ago and is taking care of her properly, but she will not come up to bask. As a result, her shell is miscolored and has a little dimple in it. Her previous owner said she spent a lot of time in the water, but they had to take her out of the water to get her to bask. My cousin tried this, but her turtle won't stay up to bask. My cousin took her and put her lights over a bin and kept her there for an hour, but she came back to the turtle on it's back. She thought it was probably disstressed and tried to climb out, falling on her back. The turtle also is possibly blind in the right eye. I think she feels more secure in the water because of that, but both of us are at a loss of what to do. How do we get her to bask?? I think she may be getting shell rot or metabolic bone disease or whatever. I hope someone can help her??

Another great video. Keep it up!

thank you so much love from bosnia❤🇧🇦

I love your videos i got into turtles cause of you i love my dimond back terrapin

Love the vids,it help me alot with my 2 baby turtle

Do you have any video on setting up a cute home for turtle and how often should I take my turtle out ?

Hi Im starting to take care turtle his good name is DUTERTLE THANK YOU for all your video share God bless you more🙏

Thanks for all the turtle shell information.

hi, nice video! i was wondering if i could use iodine and salt for my red eared slider as it recently got injured and infected.

Hi I have a 40 gallon tank with a 30 gallon heater is the heater going to heat the tank well

keep up the good work,, i really use all your ADVICE..!

wonderful! I love getting to play with the turtles at work

Hi I was gonna get a musk turtle and saw that some people use bins from Walmart and stuff and wanted to know if it was a good idea to get a bin and puts his uvb and stuff like that in there please let me know if it is good for them

My turtle is just like Nemo! And I have a Cumberland! What do you recommend applying to there shell and skin to avoid fungus and dryness?

Yeah my turtle looks like he has air bumbles in his shell when his in the water and some times I help him take it off but most of the time the rest of the scute don’t come off but eventually it comes off but I be worry sometimes and I need some information plus love ❤️ your channel

Just wondering, where did you get the stand that Hoku is on?

Hi Im glad I found ur channel I have RES and he is shedding and told me that wheat germ for their shell is good but is it true that brand hikari wheat germ contains garlic so some people dnt recommend this brand any thoughts about it??

My ±4 inches RES (13 month old) isn't shedding since few months ago, she only shed her skin but i don't see any sign of shell shedding at all. I give her pretty balanced diet (pellet - veggies - pellet - veggies and so on for a weeks) and give cuttlebone or egg shell once a week. I keep her outdoor so UVB+A shouldn't be a problem.

Hey I hope you can answer this , I got my baby red eared slider a few days ago , and he never snapped at me it was always sweet , but it snapped at me for the first time , because a piece of food was stuck on his shell and does he still have trust or will he be scared of me

the tips of my baby turtles shells or bendable. I feed them the pellets one brown pellets because she wont eat the reptomin sticks. but both have bendable shell tips at the base of their shells above their tails is this normal for babies or should I preform emergency care

Do you feed the hikari west germ while the turtle is shedding, or dose it become apart of its staple diet? Plz and thx fur ur time 😁

Hello, can you plz tell me what amount of pellets should i give my babh red eared sliders. Either it's their head size or 15 minutes feeding I don't get the real one. I give them food two times a day but they beg for it all the time. So if you know exactly how much amount i should give them, let me know. And they are small really small 1.5 inch hardly.

Hi, I feed my red slider. (Baby) shrimps, bloodworms, leaves, vegetables and fruits. Not all of it obviously all days, just like a combination of all/some of those things each day, so is it sufficient/ok

I always smile when I get the notification for a new Vid!!!!!!

I need help my turtles Shell gets soft as she grows but gets harder as her shell grows more she has a little pyramiding she has a uvb and a basking area so idk if she has shell rot or if it’s normal

Thanks! Dis halped me so much, since my turtle had a bit of shell rot

I know u probably won’t read this comment, but where did you get ur diamondback terrapin? I’ve been wanting one for a while and should I put plants and things in my tank?

My terrapin has shell rot although he basks all the time with correct lighting. What am I doing wrong?

You and this video are the only reason I didn’t freak out when I found my first shell scute. Thank you!! I would not know nearly enough to take care of my turtle without your content.

Hi, I have a baby painted turtle and his shell it's starting to curve up around the edges. He does not want to eat pellets at all the only thing he will eat is earthworms. I was feeding him small pieces of earthworms twice a day. Is this too much protein? am I feeding him too much? What else can I do? I've done so much research but can't seem to get a good answer. Any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Noice. This’ll be great for my Ouachita maps! :)

My musk turtle has a really dry shell. I think it’s because the water is too hard or low PH. Anyone have tips? I’ve been doing water changes with more alkaline water but it’s taking time to adjust

Can it be Friday everyday? I love your videos! My turtles do not like the on top basking platform. Winter is right around the corner and I fear they will die due to the cold weather.

Hi. My baby turtle shell is curve up at the middle of shell. Is that mean I over feeding the pallet? Can I share some photo? How to share?

Actually , i have a baby turtle that i keep outside, on my terrace. It is shady most of the day, as to not boil the thing alive, but, during the afternoons, natural sunlight does fall on his basking spot. I do regularly take him out for small strolls in the evenings though, is that a right thing to do?

I remember in a cartoon the turtle had a bed in it's shell and a 5 inch TV and I wondered I wish I was turtle

The turtles i rescued has some redness on their shells like little vessels?? Is that normal??

Have a turtly awesome day, yourself. 😊

hi. What if my turtle is just not as active as yours? Water temp is between 74.5 to 76 degrees all the time. Not eating as well and water gets foggy quick. I wash the tank about every 4-6days. I had bought gold fish and died within 2hrs of putting it in clean tank. I don't know why. I have tried to feed it outside of his tank so water doesn't get too dirty but turtle won't take it. It's also an Eastern Mudd turtle. Helpppp!
