![[Mirrah at one and a half years old sunning on his favorite rock, in his 33 gallon tank]](images/Mirrah1a.jpg)
Mirrah is a 2 year old male Red Eared Slider, he belongs to my
Mirrah is getting closer to being 4 years old! He was being very selective about his foods
and wasn't eating much but mealworms (not a balanced diet!) We were worried about him
but after looking around and talk to the vet, I would a food made by ZOOMED which
is a very good blanced diet for aquatic turtles and Mirrah LOVES it!! HE also
got some dried crickets which he was not as fond off but did enjoy.
So now he's on the right track with food and treats. He's very large now (bigger then in the image)
and his tank has been re-arranged for more space, he does in the bath tube and on the
balcony when it's warm (in a large cage with plastic bottom and wire top so he can't wonder off, half is overed so he had shade
and sun and he never left alone). He's a happy turtle, and is often seen corting his reflection, still no luck
with a female friend but he's happy!.
Fiancee [John]'s Mother [Danielle]. We bought her Mirrah as
a gift because she loved Turtles so much [of course we
made sure she wanted a turtle first!!]. Danielle now has a
33 gallon tank for Mirrah [you can see some of it in the
image]. She is looking for a adult female slider to be
friends with Mirrah, but so far has had little luck, I was
at a pet fair last weekend (April 1998) and talked to a
reptial association that said they can put Danielle on a
list and see what they can do. (Very nice people, they rescue unwanted herps). Red-eraed Silders can live to be up to 50+ year old!! (WOW) and make very nice pets when properly looked after, they do however need lots of care.
Danielle is also contenplating getting a few other turtles of other spieces, once she moves [which isn't in the near future at this point, she is studing for her master in Theology] . She is very interested in hearing about other people turtles :).
Danielle's really fallen more in love with turtles and her collection of turtle figures [clay, wood, glass lamp,etc.] has grown!! Mirrah loves to take sun baths and her favorite food is Mealworms [just like Cesi].
Mirrah is a very fasinating turtle, you wouldn't belive all the things he does!! He loves to swim around his tank. He gets treatment for "soft shell" which he unfotunitaly had a problem with at a young age, and hates that, he "hisses" at Danielle!!
