Any help would be appreciated....she was given turtle pellets to feed them but we dont know how often...what size tank do they need? Do I need a lamp or a hot rock or both?

RIght now we have them in a dish with just a little wather and some rocks for them to walk on that are out of teh water but we plan on puttig them in something else....

Thanks so much for your help!

You have red ear sliders. At the top of this page are links, green buttons. Check out the information for setups of water turtles. It will show you a basic setup.
