I am the owner of two babies-one male and one female. I aquired them 09/30/06 at the World's Largest Garage Sale in Warrensburg, NY. They were sold illegally. As a child, I recall having hatchling sliders. We never knew how to care for them and therefore, they never survived. I am determined to nurture my slider babies to maturity! The male became ill Feb. 2007....the female was too agressive and took all the food. I nursed the male back to health with Vitamin A drops, Sulfa Dip, and a diet of turtle food with nutrients. I feed them separately now and there have been no more issues. I use a small aquarium to house both. In the fall, I will move them to a larger aquarium. I look forward to "chatting" with all slider lovers via this forum. Love the photo galleries!
