i bought some read ear sliders online when i got them they were super healthy but as soon as i put them in my little tank they died in no time at all. nashville water is so disgusting and poisonous, chloramine, chlorine, sodium fluoride, lead, mercury, arsenic…you name it thats whats in this disgusting tap water. gonna try pure distilled water next hopefully that keeps turtles alive.

yeah for all those whos turtle stay asleep and dont eat, test the temp of the water. If the water is too cold for the turtle to be comfortable they will go right into hibernation(endless sleep for turtles,completely natural in wild, and better only for housed healthy turtles.but if water to hot DEATH!!!

U can buy that at any pet store. You shouldve really did your research before u got a turtle. They require alot of care especially alot of cleaning. U gotta keep the water as clean as possible! And without the proper lighting, his shell can get soft. Its all about the rays

My turtle is …
My turtle is usually very active, very social and is ALWAYS hungry but today he was being sluggish, wasnt eating and totally ignored me when i walked up to the tank. I have proper lighting, proper heating and proper filtration. Ive had her for about a year and a half and she was always healthy. Any ideas of what could be going on?
ok well you …
ok well you defently NEED to get a water heater and a filter ….you allso need to put a lamp(a 60w bulb will do fine) over the land area (about 6 inches away from it )
to be honest i think it is due to the conditions your turtle is being kept in at the moment and could be changed easyily …..do you have a picture or video of the turtle and the tank ?? that would help
@ …
@BIGGESTxxEMINEMxxFAN

the water is left in a bucket for 24 hours
i have no filter
and i HAVE a land area and a water area in the tank
if your turtle wont …
if your turtle wont open its eyes it will be because you dont have the right conditions for it … i need to no a few things so please answer these questions ..what temprature is the water ? is the water heated ? do you have a filter ? and do you have a land area and a water area in the tank ?

i very much doubt …
i very much doubt it ..al you can do without takeing to the vets is …get the right water temrature and have clean water …do you have a dry area for it and a water area ?

yes the water should be 26 degrees celsius or the turtle will get ill …if you dont have a water heater you need to get one ..and if her eyes dont eyes dont open you NEED to take it to a vet

u mean 26 degrees celsius so i should like change the water so that my turtle wont do these things ? but what if she still doesnt open her eyes and stuff?
Perhaps its body …
Perhaps its body temperature is too low. Do you have a basking lamp and a heater for the water? Turtles tend to get lethargic during winter because of the cold weather.
No, they will …
No, they will probably get eaten.
