How do i clean river rocks for my turtle enclosure?

Question

Today I gathered some medium rocks from the river for my turtle. They are slimy. Does anyone know an easy way to clean them?

Answer 1

Get a regular veggie scrubber and some mild soap (like soft soap that you wash ur hands with) and gentley scrub them then rinse well. Easy Peasy!

Answer 2

I usually prefer not to put any rocks in turtle tanks because it makes cleaning so much harder, but if you don't mind.

Just water and some scrubbing with a sponge or something would work.

I wouldn't use chemicals because it might not be safe.

After you wash the slime off you should bake them in an oven  to kill anything living on there that you didn't get off.

Answer 3

not with soap !!! it will kill him just use hot water to kill bateria and a tooth brush
