Red eared slider

I have a res (3-4 months old)..he has not been eating anything for the last three days …his favorite food is chicken…tried pellets too but he didnt like them…any suggestion to make him start eating again?

Re: Red eared slider

Aaawww your turtle is so young… if he was a year older you could feed him shrimps… They love Shrimps.

I suggest you might still be able to feed him shrimp if you only feed him the softer meat. He could choke on bigger chunks or even puncture a lung on the bones.

It’s a unusual pet but still hats off to you. :k:

Also what about lettuce and celery or must he eat meats?

Feed him some biryani. Everybody likes biryani. Even dead people stand up when they smell biryani around them. :D

Faris, he is too young for veges....maybe later when he grows up....I have tried giving him different stuff but he has totally refused to eat....well its not really unusual...in pakistan every thailay wala sells turtles along with fishes:D...

Mirch, i wish he was a biryani eater...i was the happiest person on earth when i found out that he liked chicken ...because when i bought him the stupid thailay wala gave me fish pellets and said...turtle eats the same pellets which of course he didnt like...and the poor guy had to survive on ants mosquitoes and flies in the very beginning..
