    Pig nose turtle/Fly river turtle shell help

    Oh I am treating the tank. Just that because I am unsure of the volume of water in the tank, can I just put salt (that’s possibly more than the required amount) and let the tank run without the turtle in it. Turtle is treated in the correct salt amount salt bath aside. Then after treating the...

    Pig nose turtle/Fly river turtle shell help

    Because I am not sure how large is the tank, how much water it holds (we just fill it using a water pipe).

    Pig nose turtle/Fly river turtle shell help

    FRT substrates

    Hi, I am deciding on a substrate for my baby FRT, was wondering if coral sand is a good choice? Also should I use a white or black substrate (white substrate is a little coarser than the black one). Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

    Help me! Pig nosed turtle

    The current temperature is 28-29 degree Celsius. I’m in a tropical country too. Used anti chlorine for the water already. I’m feeding it pellets specially for pig nosed turtles (sinking flat ones), the pet store have been giving it this before I bought it. I watched it smell it but does not seem...

    Help me! Pig nosed turtle

    Yes, it’s not bleeding or whatever. Monitoring if it gets bigger. Turtle is active and swimming around, but has not started eating since it was bought on 1st January. Do you see a need to apply some medication for shell rot?
