red ear slider downs pinky

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Only turtle of mine that will eat Pinkies is my Alligator Snapper, the rest just stare at them
 
why are there so many crickets in the tank? your turt would probably appreciate a much higher water level as well.

Your going to upset people on this forum very soon, I know how it is since I have reptiles, but i'm giving you a heads up. Your going to hear the complaining soon, best not to throw videos of that up here, people are 'touchy' about mammals used for feeders if not needed.

I don't think anyone who keeps reptiles is touchy about it. Its when someone puts live feeding footage to music. And then posts repeated videos of whatever animal they next decided to feed...

I've fed f/t pinkies to RES before, ones from snakes that didn't eat.

Read what I wrote I wasn't directing it to reptile owners for me and other reptile owners we aren't bothered by this, but seeing that this is a mostly fish dominated forum a lot of people are 'touchy' about posting up videos with pinkys being on the menu if not needed. A Red Ear would rather pick a good sized goldfish than a pinky, I think I might know what i'm talking about i've seen it quiet a few times.
 
I would raise the water level and change his diet cause once Red Ears start becoming bigger they looking at sunfish, blue gill and other smaller species of fish on the menu. I feed mine a mix of pellets and dead feeder fish to make it a little easier since I have them in a 1,500 gallon pool with 40 other turtles.
 
Keep in on topic, and without insult, flaming, or trolling. ANYONE posts anything that isn't on topic, or gets rude will get an infraction. If you don't like it, fine, just keep it civil.
