    turtles dont ingest small rocks tortoise u idiot turtles are smart when it comes to food

  • vennchris said:

    Damn straight, but I guess they only use Bleach for sterilization of the tank, but using bleach and soap on my tank will never happen. I actually have 8 turtles. Three of them are babies, while the other 5 are pretty grown up now.

    They’re all so cool, and they all love to snap at me!

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 “umm”… No qualified vet or vet tech would ever recommend using soap or bleach to clean any aquatic life tank. Stupid Stupid Stupid. Use warm water, and a scrubber brush, and rinse well, DO NOT use soap or bleach. This lady has some ok points in some of her videos, but “umm”, she is, “umm”, a complete, “umm”, moron. I can’t believe an animal hospital hired her and kept her more than “umm” a couple days.

  • cram1nblaze said:

  • Leeshizzle294 said:

    u idiot she said to rinse thoroughly after soapy water or bleach

  • LunafiskGAL said:

    i do not have gravel at the bottom of my tank, because of those reasons… but i have a question,

    So, all the turtls in the wild must die because they have to eat gravel to (if ours do). especially if there are not vets out in the wild. wouldnt turltes realize by the taste its not food? i know my turtle is very picky, he spits our everything besides commercial foods and fish. Tough Love time for him. mwahahahaha… i mean… what? lol.

  • Dall5000 said:

    Bad advise. Use hot water if you ever clean the tank.

  • Dall5000 said:

    And for the gravel question: Use stones bigger than the Turtles mouth. Problem solved.
