What's up with my turtle?

Question

I have a female red ear turtle. She has been acting rather weird lately though. She seems to be sun basking more than usual. Should I be concerned?

Answer 1

they like kinda warm water and at least 8 hrs of sun or tank light a day,

how is she eating?

here is some info..email and I can try to help..dopes she have some feeders to eat and greens?

I have had 2 sliders for 36 yrs now plus a 7 yr old and a 5 yr old. This is how I have taken care of them for 36 yrs. Great pets.

I have had them in a stand alone 150gal pond from sears..for about 6 yrs now..

Here is some important and a lot of info. If he or she is small get feeder guppies or small feeder goldfish, frozen brown worms ..or live brown worms from a fish store. petco and or petsmart do not carry live worms..

Contact the “herpetologicalsocieties.com“.

good luck , email me if I can help,K?

Answer 2

No, Shes probably cold. Make sure shes away from windows, A/Cs, Fans, and Drafts. These could give her infections. You need to buy a Water Warmer.
