Hi everyone,
I was at a local animal sanctuary the other day and they had terrapins which need some attention. I'm looking into going up there to volunteer and need some advice as I'm more into my tortoises and don't have much knowledge on turtles and terrapins yet.
They were quite large and in a filthy tank, my first point of call would be to get them into clean fresh water.
Can anyone advise me on how to go about a water change, what to do, things to add to water and temps etc? It's not an area I know about but by the looks of it neither do they.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
