How often do you have to change your turtle's water?

Yesterday I bought two cute little turtles and they're walking around in one of those turtle-bowls with a low water level; how often do I have to change their water?



Thanks. :)How often do you have to change your turtle's water?Oh, good, another death bowl. Spring for a larger container. If you put in a ramp (a slab of wood going from the bottom up to above the water), you don't have to worry about having too much water. Put your basking lamp at the top of the ramp.



As far as changing the water, do it when it looks or smells dirty. If you have a filter, you will have to do it less often.How often do you have to change your turtle's water?i would get them a giant container. the biggest one you can afford and have room for. a rubbermaid tub would work in a pinch.but a big o tank is better, put a floating dock in it and put the water level high, making sure its not to the top for them to escape. get a really good filter like one that hangs on the outside of the tank. and also one that's an under gravel filter wouldn't hurt either. you cant keep em too clean. i think they may need a rock or some thing to climb out on if they are climbing on top of each other. also don't let em get too cold. i would get them a heater of some sort. a light or a rock or some thing they can get warmth from.

maybe do some reading on them, depending on what kind you have they may have special needs.

in a tiny bowl i would change their water every day or two. don't want them to get stinky, and they sell some little turtle shaped blocks to put in your water to keep salmonella and other diseases down. make sure to wash your hands with hot water an soap after you handle or clean them.



good luck. turtles are such cuties.@!How often do you have to change your turtle's water?well, i change my turtles's water every other day, and its normal for them to climb on each other but



1.Do you have any rocks for them to climb on to bask?

2.Do you have a heat lamp for them to bask?

3.How big of a tank do you have?

4.Is the water high enough for them to submerge their entire body underwater and still have room to go under the water even more?



good luck!
