A new home for 2 abandoned Red Eared Slider Turtels...

[UNREAL]

Couple of months back a friend of mine brought me couple of tiny Red Eared Slider turtles that he bought as pets for his kids, the were miserable with one of them looked like a soon to be dead case...
I agreed to take care of them while he is away for vacation. but he never came back to get them after he got back. I asked him to collect his pets.
but he told me he couldn't keep them any more and asked me to adopt them... I hated the idea of being forced to accept new pets...
but they looked so tiny & helpless...
Any way I took them in. & emptied one of my quarantine aquariums & thoroughly cleaned & disinfect it to prepare it for the new pets.

Here are some pictures of their new home










They sure seem a lot happier & settled than before. & now both of them eats very well & are active.

I'll be glad to receive your comments & opinions.

Good for you for taking on the responsibility that apparently other folks were ill equipped to do.

In the meantime, here's a good link to brush up on Red Eared Slider care.

BR,

I hope you realize that red eared sliders can get massive right like more than 2 feet so you might want to get a bigger tank

Thanks for the advice , yes I know that of course.
But now one is a 3-4cm & the other is around 4-5cm only... so for now I'm not worrying much, as they have loads of space for their current size...
of course I'll adapt to their needs as they grow larger.
