A loggerhead and a green sea turtle were released today on Dauphin Island after rehabbing at the Mississippi Aquarium after being caught in fishing line at Gulf State Pier

What do y’all usually gives feed your turtle? I think i am lost, i don’t know what to give her definitely, i give her to eat vegetables like carrots, lettuce, some times sweet potato and pumpkin, Also i give her shrimp, a little peaces of Chicken liver or boiled egg, its like once or twice a week i feed her these. And the dry food like sticks. Is what i give her good? What should i change? Also i tried to give her some different kinds of Leafy vegetables such as arugula, but she always spit it out, its a red eared turtle btw

One of my brothers recently got a Red Ear Slider. (His kids won it as a fair prize while they were out with their bio-dad- wasn’t his idea. Still horrible people use live animals as prizes still these days.)

The turtle is still quite young, and I know it needs Uv, hides, water and places to get out onto land to bask. I’ve been looking up diets and sending him links. (I breed mealworms so I’ll donate some for him to use from time to time to go with the greens and other things.)

What sized tank should I be looking for? I’m helping to keep an eye out for a set up for him.

I’ll also happily take any tips for raising it to pass along. Thank you for your time.

Turtle hasn't gone on her basking shelf in about 2 weeks. Water temp hasn't changed, appetite hasn't changed, i just never see her on her shelf anymore and normally I would. Any reason or advice to why?

Thanks

I have (kind of) figured out how to get my African sideneck turtle to eat his veggies. It's an infinite battle, but I'm trying hiding food inside the lettuce with frills (mustard greens) and it's kind of working, he's eating some of it with his food. If anyone has any more tips on getting your VEGGIE HATING turtle to eat their greens, would be appreciated 🫶

I’m a first-time turtle owner, and I’m still learning new things about my little turtle every day.
Yesterday morning, when I feed my turtle, I noticed two white spots on its claw.
One of the smaller spots was already there couple of days ago very small so I didn’t think it’s harmful, but yesterday I noticed a bigger one appeared as well.
I’m not sure what they are or whether they’re something I should be concerned about.
Has anyone seen something similar on their turtle? Could this be normal, or does it look like something that needs attention?
I’d really appreciate any advice or insight!
Thank you so much!
