    Hello group, My name is Tim. My girlfriend and I have recently rescued two extremely cute DBTs from the Delaware Bay in New Jersey. As a kid I was alwasy catching Box turtles, but they always managed to escape! 🙂 All that to say, I love turtles and actually count it quite a priviledge to look after two Hatchlings. Ultimately, we plan to set them free after they reach maturity. My question is, apart from a filter problem is the any reason that any of you have encountered the surface of the water in their habitat became oily? I seem to have a very strange problem…I’ve changed the water, and it seems to be becoming oily again. Thanks for any advice you can offer me. Tim

    Hi again Jonathan,Well first of all I feed them outside the aqarium. But I bought some frozen shrimp cubes and some other cubes with varuious veggies and worms and other fun stuff in them. I chop the cubes up, cause i figure they’re a bit big for two tiny hatchlings to eat. Tim
