How to Care for a Turtle : Pet Turtles: Bedding

[jonyadegari]

i just got mine from chinatown and they're not eating the pellets, what else should i feed them

plus i have a small plastic tank with pebbles on one side and some water on the other

[momo03181]

wow thats it



[bucydanny]

i have a box turtle and i hear your suppost to soak them for at least 15 to 30 min in warm water everyday (not to hot not to cold water) i cant afford a humidifier so i was wondering , is it ok to have my turtle in the bathroom while i take a shower? because it gets steamy in there and puts moisture in the air and could warm the turtle at the same time. ive done it only twice and the turtle seemed to like it...if its bad PLEASE LET ME KNOW

[BoomHeadShot172]

@bucydanny Nope, only if the water is not to hot your box turtle should be ok.

ps:try not to drown it lmao

[ILIKEEATINGFOOD34]

your ugly :(

[Jaidabug17]

@ILIKEEATINGFOOD34 thats mean.

[devildog954]

my gravel looks way cooler then yours. jk

[dylanbutt11]

They trie to eat small gravell

[gunnerlol]

why large gravel ?

[beautifuljoe1313]

Gravel for a box turtle is bad - it can cause foot and joint deformities over time, and they can't dig into it. Hardwood bark mulch (especially the "aged" or "double shredded" varities) is better - it holds moisture well and they can dig in it, and box turtels love to dig.

[TredderTheTurtle]

@beautifuljoe1313 this is for aquatic turtles O.o

[beautifuljoe1313]

@TredderTheTurtle  Then it's a substrate, not a bedding.

[TredderTheTurtle]

@beautifuljoe1313 he said it. its considered both even for AQ turtles

[TheTurkishFalcon]

Tomorrow is my birthday and im gonna get two Turtles how big of a bowl or tank do i need to get and do i need a tank? can i just use a bowl and there baby turtles

[rachypanda]

@TheTurkishFalcon You need a tank, atleast 20g for like a few months. They need filters, lamps,heaters, basking platform, ect. turtles can not live in a bowl. thats usually a beta fish(:

[TheTurkishFalcon]

@rachypanda I plan on gettıng two and they arnt goıng to tell me the genders would there be any problems?

[rachypanda]

@TheTurkishFalcon Yes you can put them in the same tank, Usually you have to wait until they are a little bit bigger to tell gender. Its hard when they are the size of a quarter.

Don't forget to switch up different foods ect.

[TheTurkishFalcon]

@rachypanda My Turtles keep jumpıng on each other and ıt kında seems lıke there fıghtıng should ı let to go at ıt or put them ın two dıffrent parts of the Tank

[beautifuljoe1313]

@TheTurkishFalcon Yes, with box turtles, two males can fight, and a male can harrass a lone female. With aquatic turtles, some times even two females will fight each other if there's not enough room. It's best to just get one unless you're prepared to seperate them when they get older if there's fighting.

[misterlightning14]

what if algae build up on the gravel

[MrBoatFish]

they dont only eat it one of those pebbles got stuck up my turtles shell coincidentaly his name is pebbles

[gamesgirl455]

well actually turtles eat pebbles to regulate digestion and as long as they are not sharp its good for them

[monitorlover1]

@gamesgirl455 acatualy they will get impacted they are best without gravle.

[ionlylikefish]

i have a really quick question. lately i have been looking for things to make my tank stand out and fun for the turtles. i found these glow in the dark pebbles online and i was wondering if they would be safe for the turtles. again, these arent something i really have to have, i just want an honest opinion on how the turtles would feel about them.

[MyRedEaredSliders]

Can anyone tell me if they sell huge gravel and not that kind of size cause I getting new 5 or 29 gallon tank and my baby turtle eats everything when hungry and I have 3 I'm getting 2 more big ones

[mikaboom123]

[LakoonUK]

[360andmerule]

Dont use that tank unless you want 40 gallons of water on your floor.

[ryanwood9932]

i have a question for you guys local vets do nothing for turtles. I found a 12in eastern painted with screw holes in the back and no one wanted to help me. So they are useless. I have a 3 1/2in eastern painted turtle with half of a bottom jaw. Some one i knew had him and a red eared slider bite his head when he was smaller and dislocated the jaw. i managed to fix it some what but most of his jaw it gone is there anything i can do to save him. MY other painters are trying to bite his face

[jake3393]

at 0:01 he kinda looks like a turtle.

srsly

[enda19]

@jake3393 LOL that made me laugh.

[Boxers0]

@jake3393 lol so true!

[smellab1000]

What about UVB lights?

[Sabrknight]

I used little pebbles and pretty sure my turtles didnt eat em

[o0snowface0o]

how big do they get

[ModelCoasterMaker]

it depends, I have a box turtle and he is only around 6 inch by 3 or 4 inch not that big.

[o0snowface0o]

how much do those critters cost

[ModelCoasterMaker]

You can easily find one around a pond, my dad found one in his garden so i don't know sorry, trying looking around though. Oh and look near a pond.

[o0snowface0o]

ok but sometimes i find snapping turtles can we keep them

[Sabrknight]

Yeah Im pretty sure

[Sabrknight]

I got mine REALLLY cheap each for $12

[kimonap]

@ModelCoasterMaker i have a big aquarium with turtles!

[Sabrknight]

Male red eared sliders 8-10 inches n female 10-12 inches

[TheBearCubbies]

is it ok to not put any gravel in a turtle tank? i cant find the big gravel so i thought i could just put big rocks and sea shells in the tank is tht fine?

[mandmreptiles]

ya alot of people only have a bare tank its actually better for the turtle but not so appeling if you want it to look nice

[shimeiwoo]

[Sabrknight]

[NothingMuffins]

Even though hes my favorite from expert village, I completely agree.

[markaryank]

@CPdaniel1357 LOL ur right

[joey96687]

i have a vary small painted and you can see him in the video baby turtle from joey96687 and i have a small plastic cage with a homemade floating dock so if you can make a video about baby turtle setups so max(the turtle)dosent die because one of my hermit crabs past away about a year ago he was an old crab and i do not want to go through that again and so if you whould comment a video comment or something max and i whould be very greatful if you whould do that you whould make this boy very happy

[azxpert]

I agreed with Elamena. Turtles don't need beeding at all. Sooner or later, it just give dirty water and smelly. Just bare bottom of the tank is the best. No gravel please.

Lights for basking area should be 12 inch away or depends on the wattage you used. The best is to get the temperature at 30 - 35 Celcius.

[0YtsanBlowout0]

would a litter box with fresh water, one third side of gravel high enogh for land, and a basking light with a dish of turtle food be good? I thought of that habitat yesterday and maybe it might work .

[leonardbutkiewicz93]

how far does the light have to be from the basking area?

[PonyGirl246]

usually, it comes with an attachment that attaches to the top of the tank

[elamena]

the best bedding for a turtle tank is no bedding at all! although i understand it doesn't always look the best

[04lody04]

@elamena thats not true.. in that way ur aquarium wil be filled with NO3
