Hello

Hello,

No, that will not harm them. Do you supplement calcium in their diets at all? That is probably why they are doing that. What about any UVB, they do need some to help synthesize D3 to keep their shells strong. Otherwise, they can suffer from softshell disease.

they get a variety of food, frozen turtle dinner, community dinner ,black worms,dried shrimp,meal worms,crickets, plant stuffs they refuse to eat the pellets and they get taken outside for natural sunlight as well as the tank light giving off both uva & uvb. I'd like to feed them some small whole fish though the pet shop tell me thats not a good idea, is that true, if not what small breeds of fish can i feed them
