Hi,
So we've had two red eared sliders for about 12 to 14 years now. They were from the same clutch; one is a male and the other is a female. They get along great (Thankfully). However, a while back we had to take out all plastic plants and any nonbig rock because both of them tried eating them. Since then, when we buy things we have to take off all fake plants and be careful about what we buy since they still try to eat the plants whenever they are introduced. That being said, their aquarium is slightly sad... they have pebble rocks on the bottom, a cave toy thing big enough to sit on and swim under, as well as a floating land thing with lights on a timer. I'm looking for help as I would like to give them more... but we can't put any vegetation because our turtles simply won't stop trying to eat them. Any advice?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm sorry if this post upsets you because we've been doing something wrong... but please don't be overly critical of the fact I'm looking for idea's now, as my mother is the owner and I am scarcely 18.. we got them when I was 4-6, and a child doesn'T always think of these things. Thank you
