My turtle is only 2 1/4 inches long and has a very dark shell. I've named him Thor and he was a gift from my parents. The man we bought him from said that i should keep him in a container but said nothing about a tank with filtration.
I've been doing a lot of reading on this site, which I AM SO GLAD i found, and you guys have said that they need to be in tanks. I've had Thor in a large container with gravel and several larger rocks for him to get out of the water on. But he seems unhappy.
He's always trying his best to get out of his enclosure and it makes me feel bad for him. I clean his enclosure twice a week. Thor also eats pellets and sun dried shrimp. He is a hearty eater but i'm worried I might not be doing enough for him. Any suggestions would help. I'm going to get him some veggies tomorrow and a tank if at all possible. I'll do anything to see my little one happy, so please, any ideas would help me out a lot. thanks.
