Turtle Mineral Blocks

Attention Turtle Keepers

I've received many enquiries on the poor health of turtles, like being restless, shell is soft or eye is swollen.

Following are common illness and remedies:

1) Soft Shell

- One mineral block should be placed in the water for the turtle to absorb calcium and minerals to strengthen their shell

- This should be placed after every water change

- Good food should be given. Beware of lesscommon brands as most food contain a lot of ash and not proper well-balanced diet with vegetables, fish meat and krill

2) Swollen Eye

- Resulted in Mosquito bite

- Use turtle eye drops to cure

3) Restless

- Lack of mates, lonely

- Lack of water area and dry area

Hope this little information helps.
