Here's how to effectively care for any water turtle variety.
Steps
Step 1. Take a long container and a stone about 10 cm long
Step 2. Clean the stone with untreated water
Do not use any type of soap.
Step 3. Place the stone in the container
Step 4. Create a slope to allow the turtle to climb
You could use small aquarium stones, turtles have a fondness for dark colored stones.
Step 5. Fill the container with pure, untreated water
Don't submerge the top of the rock, your turtle will want to rest on a dry surface.
Step 6. Place your turtle in the container
Step 7. Feed her fresh lettuce, purchased or grown in your garden
Advice
- Weekly, clean the turtle and the container.
- Clean the turtle using cotton balls dipped in pure water. Do not apply any pressure on the animal.
