Is it safe for my turtle

Answer by ChewyDec 29, 2020
These all-natural river rock pebbles are great for Red-eared Sliders, Map Turtles, Painted Turtles, Musk Turtles, Cooters, and other species of fully aquatic turtles. They are not suitable for softshell turtles.

Are these big enough to not be eaten by an aquatic turtle?

Answer by ChewyJan 20, 2021
The river pebbles are a variety of sizes and some of the small ones depending on the turtles size could be accidentally ingested. We always recommend watching the turtle when it eats and feeding foods that cannot fall into the pebbles as well as scooping out left over food after 10 minutes.

Are these pebbles black when submerged in water?

Answer by ChewySep 08, 2021
The Turtle River pebbles are not black when submerged in water, they are different colors like normal rocks.
