He doesn't need a house, he needs a pond.Can anyone please tell me how to build a turtle’s house? I can’t figure what to use or how to do it lol.
Going to the pet shop soon!so try him with the fish pellets as soon as you can do so!
I don’t think my cousins are gonna like the idea of getting him to a pond, but maybe I can convince them.He doesn't need a house, he needs a pond.
Might be, but that means he’s starving rn and I need to get him food, I will go to the pet shop soon though!Agree completely with @harris That is a Caspian Turtle. Mauremys caspica. (Large inguinal scute one easy identifier along with head/neck stripes.)
Native to the Northern parts of Saudi Arabia and quite common.
Mostly carnivorous/insectivorous. Get it some good turtle pellets and some meat and/or worms. Also needs a basking light where it can heat up to 90°F (32°C) so it can metabolize food. Water temp of 26°-27° is fine.
The other ones were bought from a shop, and idk what species they were, but they put 2 together so that’s probably why.He's a water turtle, he can only eat in water, he needs to swim...that's why the other turtles died...
I think so too. They and the Vietnamese pond turtles look a lot alike though.What you have is a Mauremys Caspica.
They are endemic to your region.
That's right! They can only swallow the food if their head/mouth is under water.He's a water turtle, he can only eat in water, he needs to swim...that's why the other turtles died...
I'm trying my hardest to help himWow, you really are trying hard for him, good for you and keep us posted, please!
I don't think it has to be three times for the day! Just once is good enough, say after the sun has been up a while and he warms up. Watch and see if he leaves any of the food, and remove it if he is no longer interested.We feed him turtle sticks 3 times a day, 1.5 sticks each time. Is that good?
