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.

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
