I will try to explain in this article the housing process for the baby turtles. I think that this is the first and one of the most important steps in the baby turtle care.



Baby turtle care: housing issue



Baby turtles need fresh water. if, a mature turtle can survive in a slightly dirty water that's not happening to the baby. So try to keep them in fresh shallow water all the time. The water should be at least as deep as their shell's wide but be careful not to be deeper that they can reach the surface easily. you'll also have to provide them a basking spot. As i said, keeping a fresh water means changing it daily. you can also use a filter so you can change the water every 2-3 days.



If you decide to use a water filter some problems might appear that you have to resolve. The filter will create some kind of a current. If this current is to strong for the little ones than they will paddle against it in vain. So in some time they will get exhausted and that's not good for them. The best way to resolve this turtle care problem is by placing some rocks or bricks for lessening the current.





One possibility is to slant the tank slightly, to create deeper water where the filter is and shallower water where the basking spot is. I use flat, round river rocks for resting spots.



If you keep your turtle indoor and the room temperature seems to low than you should try to cover a part of the tank to keep the air worm. But when you see that the condensation acumulates uncover the tank. If you don't do that then the turtles won't dry enough.



The turtles need Vitamin D3 and Calcium. These can be found in a variety of foods. But of you don't provide this kind of turtle food then you should get some kind of vitamin supplements. In any of the cases do not put your turtle tank directly on your window.





If the baby turtles are kept outdoors than also try to cover the tank because the cats and the crows will find your little ones as a great meal.



Remember that if you decided that you want to keep a baby turtle there are many turtle care issues involved. If you think that you can't take care of all this turtle care issues like the housing problems please don't keep the turtle. try to fin someone that can give her a happy life.
