can i put normal vines with my red ear slider?

Question

can i put normal house vines in with my red ear sliders and yellow bellies and them not get sick? i understand that they love to eat vegetation and i dont want them to eat something poisonous. does anyone have any information about this? just normal vines i was going to plant them in there and let them grow out of it... anyone tried this before?

Answer 1

Most ivys are not going to be a problem, but it is not typical food, and may not be super healthy.

Instead, try water plants that are more designed for water and known to be good for turtles- like those listed here: http://www.redearslider.com/plants.html
