Hello,
I was hoping to upgrade the tank that our baby sliders are in. I know the one we currently have is too small and I have been keeping an eye on them for bullying type behaviors. I read somewhere this behavior can be different for turtles than tortoises on the forum (laying on top of the other, etc) but recently it looks like one is definitely following the other one around and getting in it’s face. I put a pause on getting a new tank earlier because my mother passed away end of December and there was a lot going on. Now I’d either like to try and get this larger tank on sale while we can afford it or part with one of the sliders. The one I am looking at is a 55 gallon tank from Petco. Would this be ok? The hope is as they get bigger to go the large stock tank route. I will probably still get the larger tank even if we do end up rehoming one.
Thanks for your help.
