These are amazing pets, we have had ours now for twelve years Tootsie is her name, she follows us around the unit when we let her out, and all she wants is to be close, she also loves kisses and while I am working she comes into the room and lifts her body and reaches with her paw to pick her up and she goes to sleep in my jumper, they are also good climers when I have my track suite on she will climb onto my knees and climb up for a kiss, when she needs to go back into the tank she walks over to it and reaches up for us to put her back in, but make sure you can hand them down to a responsible person because they can live up to a hundred years, we have my great grandaughter who loves Tootsie and she will take care of her when we are long gone.

There is a channel here on youtube called Snake Discovery (they mainly talk about snakes but also about other reptiles and amphibians) that have videos on turtles and can recommend great UV lamps and other stuff. Remember that even if the UV light is still emitting light for a long time doesn't mean that it will emit UV for that same amount of time! I look forward to see updates on how he is doing in the future! It will be fun to watch him grow!
@SebMakesStuff Жыл бұрын
I will definitely have to check them out, I love animal related Channels! and good to know about the UV light, I think I will be moving him into a sunnier position swell

I love turtles myself, having a Murry river shortneck. A thing to note is that they love to move everything around.

I also own a eastern long neck turtle, they are mostly carnivorous they eat, crickets, woodies, yabbies, fish, snails and any other small crustaceans they find but they are opportunistic feeders so don’t put anything that could be unsafe for him in the tank., if you give him live fish only get livebearers like guppies or platties, goldfish can stop them from absorbing vitamin b, you can also give him earth worms every month.

All great notes. I've been feeding him a mix of turtle pellets, live feeder fish and crayfish. He seems pretty happy and is growing strong. I'll have to add in the occasional earth worm

Kowabunga Dude! Fantastic story, thanks for sharing. You may consider adding alternating signature turtles as well as your usual signature frogs in your Fantasy-Architecture.

What can I feed my baby long neck turtle ?
@SebMakesStuff 9 ай бұрын
I started with bloodworm. You can get frozen bricks from basically any petshop. Those it out in some tank water and either drop it in the tank. Or use a dropper to hold it around the the turtle in smaller chunks. I also ended up getting some frozen turtle food that seemed to have a mix of a few different things. Then eventually moved into small floating turtle foods and live feeder fish

@@SebMakesStuff I do not understand the point of this reply. What happened to the turtle? Has it been released back into the wild?

The point was that those birds ain't going hungry. As for the turtle he is happy and healthy in a pond and training on different live foods so he can be a good hunter

@@SebMakesStuff Well I'm glad you are planning on releasing it back into the wild. That makes the druid in my happy. Peace.
