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.

Swordtail has been doing a whole lot of "Lizard yoga" lately
Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
I'm still looking to adopt. I live near Homerville Georgia.
