General Care Discussion :: My turtle is shedding!

[rawrbaby]

Well, my little guy is shedding! I can see the wisps when he is under water. Is there anything special I need to do? It dirtys the water quite easy, but that's okay Thanks!

He hasn't really eaten, not that I have seen anyways, but I've seen VERY small peices of gravel around. So maybe he he chewed on them when I had some in my tank for like 2 days, and they're comming through. I have some lettuce and pellets in there for him, so hopefully he will eat soon
Thanks for all your guys help! I've learned SOOOO much from this forum!

Assuming the shedding is a part of his normal growing, there's nothing you really have to do.

If he's eating gravel, it really should be taken out of the tank.

The gravel was taken out 2 weeks ago. Like right as I read on here that they will eat it, it was out.

thanks.
