Habitat - Indoor :: HELP, turtles have started fighting :-(

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Turtles killing their tank mates happens all the time. I have personal experience with it. My turtle, Mikey, killed his tank mate (my husband's turtle Donny) within a few months of having them. It was before I found this site and knew any of the rules. Mikey killed him when they were both around 2.5'', so yes it can happen with all kinds/sizes of animals.

just got rid of Gepeto, took a while to find a pet shop that would take him. So now only own 1 turtle!! I cant belive pet shops encourage you to buy more than 1, they told me they would get lonley otherwise!!

Yeah petshops are full of bad advice. I recomoned too everyone before getting a pet too research and research.
Petland here has been telling people that goldfish have no stomach just a tube... I wish they told me because I would be a smart a$$ and ask them how do they digest their food and grow??? lol
