Turtle experts - help please
Dear ladies,
we have adopted a turtle last week without much planning or prior knowledge. Our maid's friend has been moving families and not allowed to take her turtle to a new apartment and so was looking for a new home for it. I was told the turtle lived in a garden so assumed it was a land tortoise and easy to keep but it turned out to be a water turtle: red eared slider as i found out by now by googling it. It came with a plastic bucket which is way too small and doesn't allow any space for a poor creature to swim and the previous owner said that she used to keep it in a garden, would let it out to roam around for sometime and then would put her back in the bucket to "rest". The more I read about this type of turtle the wronger it sounds. Would much appreciate some tips from experts as to what can we do to make sure this guy has a decent life with us - is it better to keep him indoors/ outdoors; what to feed him, where to buy a decent size tank. It tried a few shops for a big tank but no luck. He is about 10-12 cm long . Would be grateful for any help!
