What kind of water is good for turtles to swim in...?

Answer 1

Clean water. I've had turtles for a long time. They stink if you don't clean their water after a day if you have them in one of those specially designed bowls. Buying a tank wouldn't be such a bad idea. you can get a filter to go with it to keep it clean and a floating log thing so it can rest on when it doesn't want to be swimming.  

Answer 2

Pond water...where they live

Answer 3

Don't worry about it. I use mine straight from the tap, chlorine and all. No problems. What did you think you needed? Evian?

Answer 4

fresh water, NOT salt water.

**The bigger the environment the bigger the turtle.

Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA for 8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow. So that means getting a turtle dock also.

Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

You need a good filter system! Gravel larger than they can swallow.

You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily drop 20 or so in the tanks and watch them disappear! This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also!

They need leafy greens( Romaine, Butter lettuce. Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week

Answer 5

fresh and clean water

Answer 6

I would recommend using bottled water or any other type of filtrated water. It would be best to avoid using tap water, seeing as that isn't filtered very thoroughly. Basically, just use any water that is well filtered and good to drink.
