Baby turtle care tips
At Waterlife Aquarium, we specialise in giving the correct advice to keep your turtle happy and healthy for many years. We also have dozens of baby turtles in stock, ready for their new home.
Below are the critical points mentioned on this page:
Heating
Heating is essential. The most common form of heating used is a thermostatically controlled aquarium heater. It is generally set at 24 degrees and maintains that temperature.
UVB, Vitamin D3 and Calcium
Turtles need Ultra Violet Lighting, Vitamin D3, and Calcium.
- UVB helps the turtle’s body produce Vitamin D3.
- When Vitamin D3 is present, the turtle’s shell can absorb calcium and stay hard.
Softshell in turtles is described here as common but 100% avoidable if correct information is provided during the initial purchasing stage. The page recommends a 10.0 UVB and notes you can check these out in-store.
Docking area
A docking area (landing) is required so the turtle can come out of the water to dry off.
Filtration and starting a new tank
Filtration is critical to maintain water quality. Turtle urine and waste turn into ammonia, which can cause water to go acidic and eat away at the turtle’s slime coating, causing fungal issues.
To start the filter in a brand new turtle tank, this page recommends BioActive8 live bacteria.
