livebearer_breeder Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Well this morning I woke up to find one of my baby turtles had died, I had suspected this because from day one I found it hard to feed him. He was affectionately named ‘Dude’ by my Father, the other one named ‘Squirt’, also by my dad; obviously he got his inspiration from "Finding Nemo" - the sea turtles. Unfortunately I haven’t told dad yet as he is in the states on business, but I expect he will be just as gutted if not more as I am. They where his pets ‘technically’ because he paid for them, and I often found him in the fishroom fussing over them. Anyways let’s hope there is an animal heaven.

Feelers Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I had a snake neck turtle that died, mainly due to him not accepting any food. I tried everything to get him to eat but his health deteriorated. The day I was taking him to the vet he karked it . $120 worth of turtle down the drain (literally). :roll: Live food seems the only way to go with those little guys.

livebearer_breeder Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 It is a real shame, rung dad and told him, gonna have a funeral when i get round to it (sounds lame i know but i loved the lil guy). The only food they get is Live Food. its no longer "they" tho. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
