DIY Baby TURTLE POND Setup for LESS Than $40! (Baby Turtle Rescue)

[@Khopeless]

From someone that has a turtle about 1/3 of that size.. hes gonna need a much stronger filter and a bigger enclosure. I have mine in a 75 gal tank with just some guppies for him to eat and I have to do water changes every 1-2 weeks.. It was recommended I get a filter for 2-3x the size of my tank and even then I'll have to do monthly water changes lol. They're kind of a pain in the a.. to keep as a pet tbh 😏

[@doctorweston05]

They're really not, about as low maintenance as a pet gets. They're not for everyone

[@JMACK1]

Best part as always the very end, your daughter's make me smile every time

[@OurViewingChannel]

Agreed

[@SCFishKeeping]

That's why I gotta keep them at the end! Give people something to look forward to when watching my videos! 😂😂

[@051287gaz]

Definitely need to do a turtle pond, it's a great idea to show how cheap you can make them because fish keeping is quite expensive so any way of saving money is always a bonus

[@SCFishKeeping]

I agree man! Fish keeping can be a real pain on the wallet. So it's fun for me to show how much you can do with a little creative and a few bucks!!

[@yermailmain206]

Nope you are wrong.

[@julieo.2469]

@@yermailmain206 Turtles mistake gravel for food and can cause impaction, while fine sand can be passed. Its better to use sand or rocks larger than the turtles head.🐢

[@Scarrycamrry]

@@julieo.2469 thx

[@jj.h1388]

Sand is also bad. Just get rocks big enough that your turtle can’t swallow it. They also try to eat sand so that’s not a good choice

[@LisaSpangenberg]

Honestly that pond is too small for that size turtle and it is not predator proof. It would be good for a hatchling but not a juvenile. I hope he wasn’t snatched by a raccoon. Also sand is a better substrate as they can ingest those small stones.

[@LeonardoStevenMe]

I do not recommend small pebbles. Turtles may eat that

[@vincentsreptiles5270]

Nice setup but probably already way too small for that turtle. It ain't no baby. looks to be juvenile to sub adult.

[@themoodyturtle9569]

This isn't a very good setup the turtle could choke on the gravel and the turtle could also escape by climbing on the walls this is not an appointment size setup for the turtle it can barely swim in that tub there's no cover or hides the turtle will be very stressed
