Why the red-eared turtle is not suitable for everyone: what conditions does a capricious pet need
If you decide to become an owner of a red-eared slider, remember that it needs conditions close to its natural environment.
You should only get a pet if you are ready to create those very conditions for it.
These include, first of all, a spacious aquarium, which will have both a water part and an island of land.
In addition, it is worth getting a UV lamp.
The "abode" of red-eared turtles must be heated.
As for nutrition, here too, red-eared turtles are demanding. Thus, for their full development, it is necessary to have a source of calcium available at all times.
If a turtle lives in inappropriate conditions, it runs the risk of contracting rickets.
Helminthic invasion and pneumonia, which also develop in a pet placed in an unsuitable environment, also pose a danger to the life and health of the pet.
