Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2007 4:15 pm   Quick question

I'm not too concerned about the turtles right now, because they're doing great, but i haven't noticed any fecal matter lately...think it's just them eating it? I haven't really been paying attention much for it though:-p

Sadly, they're probably just eating it. Do you have any fish in the tank? They eat it too. Do you use a waste degrader?

Depending on their diet their poop may just not be holding together either. If they eat a lot of veggies their stool can be looser. If that's the case, any solid matter would probably float around and get sucked up by the filter.
