Heya,
I look after my turtles like they are my babies, but last night when I went to say good night (don't laugh I say good night to my staffies too), I noticed some white looking marks on there shells..... I do everything by the book so to speak, I read all the information I could find on Turtles before I got them.....
Now I know I read something about turtles getting spots on there shells is something to do with a lack of sunlight..... (I think), but I do take them out in the sun, am I not taking them out in the sun enough, and I'm not leaving them in the sun for very long because I know they can't cool them selves down like other animals, so I don't want to cook them...... I have feed them separatley...
I clean the tank every 12 days at the latest and change the eloda I have in there, I scrub the algae off everything and then replace 1/3 of the water, and make sure they have a health block in the tank all the time, there are some little fishies for them to chase in there (less every day) and I clean the filter once a week really well.......
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
