Can you use turtle water? 15 Apr 2014 14:51 #1121

Pokiepie OFFLINE New Member Posts: 1	In the big tank at my house we have 2 red eared sliders. They produce copious amounts of waste. Smelliest pet I ever had. The water has to be exchanged very often. Any one have any experience with this? I was wondering if all this waste can be useful as fertilizer?

I would personally not use it on the plants leaves... Turtles can transmit salmonella so be very careful please! Anyone else want to jump in on this one? Admin Matt
