First of all, hello everyone, friends of turtles around the world.
I recently moved to a new place, I live in Taïwan (this is important for life conditions of turtles I heard)
We found a turtle that her previous owner left behind, she caught a cold apparently but she is still under treatment (I went to see a doctor for animals).
She already feel a bit better as she starting to move around and eat some of the stuff the doctor gave us.
Could you help me improve her quality of life? I don't want to let her in a random park or river, even if there's already many turtles living freely around.
So my questions are :
- What specie is it? I've heard about graptemys, but I think you guys trully are more expert in that field.
- What does it eat? Same as before, I've heard that this specie is omnivorous, eat green veggies but also small shrimps (without shell), pieces of ham ...
- What water/tank/lamp ?
- Any other attention?
She (I say she because turtle is a female word in french, might be a male) really enjoy the sunlight, so each time it's sunny, I put our tank on a place where she can sunbathe all she wants, protected from rain and with a small broken flower-pot if she needs shadow. She already have place out of water, a few pieces of wood and clean water.
Thank you all for any advices!
Just after, pictures of "her".
