How do they eat

Posted on October 15th, 2007 by admin

Red Eared Sliders need a water tank to live, with a dry area to bask. Since they don’t produce saliva, these turtles need to be in water to be able to swallow their food. They are OMNIVORES, and I mean that! We feed ours vegetables, raw chicken, and whenever possible their “lobster”: earthworms. I don’t like to feed them live fish, probably because tropical fishes was another long-time-ago hobby.
