Since you have the babies in there, you should look at covering the egg crate with something soft to protect their shells. I used rubber shelf liner. It's cheap and you can find it at hardware stores.

That's what I don't like about baby turtles, they are way to delicate, luckily I haven't had any problems with mine, but I would like my turtle to stay around 4-5 inches and stay that size! :) Maybe I'll get lucky and mine will be one of those males that get no bigger than 6 inches!

well regarding the baby turtles, i added some shelf lining to the ramp and platform! it also helps the bigger turtles from shooting down into the tank when they're frightened.
