Is it true if i feed my turtles outside of its tank, this will also help keep water clean
Yes! Feeding outside the tank is a great idea. It really helps keep excellent water quality for your turtles to live in.
Always make sure the water is at least the temperature of the water inside the tank. At first, turtles might be hesitant to eat outside of their normal environment (the tank), but they eventually grow used to it and expect it. A little trick to coax them into eating when you first try this is to keep the temperature of the water in the feeding container two or three degrees higher than the tank water. Warmer water entices turtle's to eat, and also entices them to defecate afterwards - furthering your goal of keeping the tank clean.
From your question above, I must assume you have more than one turtle. It is probably best to feed the two turtles in separate containers - this way you can control the amount of food each turtle is intaking and ensure a healthy diet, and also to eliminate fighting/aggression over food.
Good luck!
what's feeding him outside of the tank got to do with it? if you use non-clouding food, you should be alright, .. but most of the dirtiness comes from his poop. you gonna teach him somewhere else to poop?? lol.. good luck.
Yes because the excess food will not pollute the water.
Yes! And it's a wonderful opertunity to bond with them. Soon they'll associate coming out of the tank to eat and socilize with that giant shelless creature that feeds them.
Yes. Turtles are VERY messy eaters.
Not really. You need to feed your turtle in its tank. In the wild turtles dont stroll up to the beach with their picnic baskets in tow. It is more natural and better for the turtle to feed while in the tank. Most of the mess comes from the after math of the lunch, you know, "what goes in must come out." Your turtles fecal matter is whats gunking up the tank. You could check into under gravel tank filters. This will help stretch out the time in between cleanings.
Absolutely! I highly recommend it, as you don't have to fish out the old food or change the water more than neccessary.
yes the food they don't eat just helps pollute the water,or just teach them better eating manners.
it'll help to keep it a little cleaner but that dirtiness just ain't from the food but also it goin to the bathroom and if your using tap water then that makes it dirty to!
Yes..but becarful, turtles are habitual.they will only eat in the area where they remember food is. If you try to switch and start feeding it in it's tank it may not adjust.
Yes, turtles are messy eaters and their water gets dirty very easily because of this. Just make sure that your turtle does not need to be fed in the water (only) because a lot of water turtles should only be fed in the water.
I assume you mean using a seperate feeding tank with its own warm water and proper size space?
The only down sides to this are:
- There is a little stress in changing tanks. Some turtles will not eat well in this situation.
- Some keepers think this means they don't need good filtration, which would not be true.
Most good turtle food is messy- fish, worms, bugs, etc.all foul a tank quickly, so if the feeding tank idea works for you, go for it!
YES ! OF COURSE !! TO GET CLEAN THE WATER YOU CAN DO THIS.
DO NOT FORGET TO GIVE VITAMIN A ,CALCIUM,UVA TO YOUR TURTLE !!
