New Turtle Owner

Hi,

I recently became the proud owner of 2 baby red-eared sliders because someone abandoned them. However, I haven't the slightest clue of how to take care of them. If anyone can tell me what essentials I need for the tank, what the best food to feed them is, and any other tips and tricks, that would be great!

Thank you!

Although I don't have them as pets or have any experience with them I found these two articles from The Spruce Pets (I personally love their articles). How to Care for Pet Red-Eared Slider Turtles and How to Set Up a Tank for a Red-Eared Slider Turtle and What Do Red-Eared Slider Turtles Eat?. If you want more information just search The Spruce Pets and tap on the search button (on the website) and write a red-eared slider (they gave a lot of articles about them. That was very nice of you to rescue them.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
