Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

What is turtle pooh normally like? It seems like my turtles never use bathroom. the last time i remembered anything that I definitely considered pooh is 2-3 weeks ago. but they swim around normally, bask, etc.

they now have their UVB light and a 20 gallon tank. the water temp says its 78.

So what might be going on? Is this a problem?

If you see poop, you'll know it. The filter is probably picking it up, or they're eating it before you get a chance to notice. If you're that concerned, check the filter pads. Betcha there's lots in there.

I'll bet they are eating it. That's what mine does. I think that's "normal".
