Teacup Saucer

My turtle likes to dig…what is the best for his aquarium, rocks, shells, sand?

He is a slider who has grown from the size of a half dollar to the size of a teacup saucer.

You should use large river rocks as a substrate. DO NOT use gravel, they eat this and become impacted and could die.

You could use aquarium sand, but unless you have a really strong filter I don’t recommend it because it will clog and stress the motor and will shorten the life of the filter.
