    1) Change water every day is a must

    2) Water 50% of the height of the turtle

    3) Do not feed with fresh vegetables as it’s poo will be very smelly

    4) Just feed with turtle pellets once a day, do not over feed

    5) One a week brush it’s shell with baby’s toothbrush without toothpaste gently

    6) The bigger space the better, if the space is too small example the standard plastic turtle container measuring 6”x12” is too small, if you keep two in it, one will grow big and the other one will not grow or eventually die.

    Baby Turtle Care

    girl, unless you can find a tank that measures up to 1:5 its size everytime it grows, please... don't get a pet turtle.

    Anyway, assuming you have space ^___^

    1) Make sure you understand the species of your turtle and understand their nutrient needs.

    2) Cheap commercial turtles pellets may not contain all the nutrients that a turtle need, you may need to buy vitamins and calcium block.

    3) Some turtles cannot tolerate certain vegetables. Find out which one

    4) Make sure their habitat consist of water deep enough to swim and dry land for sun basking. Turtles likes to bask. Exposure to sunlight produce Vit-D for calcium absorption.

    5) Make sure their living space is partly shaded, partly exposed to sunlight.

    6) Sunlight causes algae to form in your tank. Clean your tank and your turtle often to avoid infection.

    7) Chasing guppies can be fun past time for turtles. Turtles likes to swim too.

    8) reminder: Turtles need space. That is why 1 of the 2 turtles reared often die. Because there is not enough space for two in that tank.

    9) Contrary to common believes, having turtles as pet is not as easy as it seemed.

    Good luck, girl. Do more research before you rear a turtle ya? You may think its cute, but to the turtles, a hell space is torture.

    Mix with flour, put into hot oil and fry till it's golden brown. Dip into some sauce of your choice and enjoy. Eat while it's hot.
