Yellow bellied slider turtles are omnivorous. They like aquatic plants, carrion, insects and fish. The females are generally herbivorous preferring plants. The younger males tend to be carnivorous preferring the insects and other listed items. Commercially bred insects and turtle food will work just as well as anything from outdoors.
The recommended temperatures are the low to mid 80's for air temperature, mid 70's for water temperature and the high 80's and low 90's for the basking stone. Also if there is more than one slider turtle the aquarium should be around 150 gallons or so. add a comment
