Question by ~Mrs.C: isn’t the point of asking a question to get more experienced with the pet?
Now why when i ask a question about my turtle i get little kids that think they know everything and say crap like… well give him to someone else that has more experience with pets… well that is what i am asking the questions for… if i did not give 2 crap about the pet i would just let it do what it wanted throw food and forget about it.. why do people get so mean and think they got to insult people when they are trying to ask a simple question?

Question by stasiia: How easy is it to get salmonella from a pet turtle?
Even if you wash your hands after .. can it get inside cuts on your fingers or hands? If the turtle walked on a table and you wash it after.. should you throw out the sponge and rewash the area again later?

Can you get it from just touching the water the turtle is in?

I am paranoid.

Question by : Would this be much for a pet sitter!VERY LONG?
Ok I have 10 animals 4 dogs Sammy,Amber,Tony and Cooper 3 cats Jazzmin,Frank and Josie and I have a rat Baby then a 5 years old hamster she does not have long left she is getting old and then I have a turtle named Dixie. Tony,Amber and Cooper are very skittish around new people Tony will nip,Amber will bark and Cooper runs (Cooper was beaten bad when he was a puppy we rescued him when he was 2 years he is now 2 years and 9 months), they are all socialized but are still scared of new people. Sammy is a big teddy bear. They are all small. Here is what she would need to do.

-Give Sammy a half of cup of wet food,Tony 1 half a cup of dry food and a mix of wet,Amber the same as tony, and Cooper 1 cup of dry with wet food. They would have to be feed once in the morning and once at night. Cooper will have to eat in the bedroom with the door shut because he is food aggressive turd’s other dogs. Tony would need to be feed in the living room and don’t touch his food until he walks away from it, Amber and Sammy would be feed in the 2 cage’s. Then after 15 min take them out and let them go potty for 20 min then put Cooper in the kitchen with the bedroom door shut and a blanket and the gate close with blankets and fresh water, Then the other dogs in the living room with water and blankets and with the stairs and kitchen gate closed. And a lot of love-

This is what she would need to do!

-The cats need food,water and there litter changed and attention.

-The rat needs to be feed and held and talk to and fresh water-

-The turtle just needs to be feed-

-Fish just needs to be feed-

The house would need to be picked up and clean, She must have the windows and doors lock at night. She could leave there cool air thing on, have No criminal revered, and people to call and get info on her performance she would have to meet the dogs a few month prayer to when we leave. She would have to stay in the house at night.

We are going to Disney in 2011 and it is for a week and I am so worried about leaving my dogs and cats etc I love them so much to the point we jump out in front of a car to save are cat and are dogs that got out of the house.

Answer by Animal♥Affection<3
Well im not a turtle owner, but im guessing its because he hadnt eaten ANYTHING that whole day, and once you gave him something, it wasnt a formula he was used to. I would suggest you switch back to your old formula and see what happens next. Hope i helped!
