Diamondback Terrapin babies feeding time

My two Blue concentric DBT and my Texan DBT babies when I feed them. They are about 3 months old. Camera isn't the best, but it takes a few seconds to focus when I move around. The water sound is also amplified by the microphone.

Are they in salt water ? Can they survive in fresh water ?

[mephys337]

@x3HoneyDip If they are captive bred they can be raised in fresh water and do very well as long as the water quality is good. They are more prone to shell rot if the water is not kept clean, which can be resolve by keeping they in brackish water (slightly salted)

@mephys337 Ok so what type of salt should i buy ?

[mephys337]

@x3HoneyDip I don't want to give advice as I don't know anything about your turtle(s) or your set-up or the reason why you would want to add salt. If you have DBT's and they are in fresh water and there is no problem with them there is no need to. If the problem is the water quality I woudl look into that first because adding salt is not gonna help you if you have poor filtration or a small tank, etc

They are addicting. I have 8 of them at the moment, ranging between a few months old to 2 years old. Thanks for watching.
