I. Dry Turtles

?

Suggestion one

If you are keeping turtles with sand all the time, then you can make a sieve, make a round or square sieve with steel wire screen or nylon screen cloth, the sieve eyelets are just the right size for the sand to be filtered down, so that you can clean up the sand for your turtles on a regular basis.

Suggestion 2

Since there is no sand for tortoises in China, you can refer to using the finest cat litter for dry tortoises so that her feces will automatically roll into a ball. You can clean it up with a small shovel.

Two, water turtles

Suggestion one

If you like to keep turtles in the water with sand, you can use aquarium with fine white sand, but cleanup is more laborious. You have to do regular cleanup by washing the sand. My house also has a fish tank with eight ghost fish, there is sand in it, every six months to clean the sand, just wash the sand will take half a day's work. However, my yard for the turtles to build a turtle pool, the first half of the turtle pool is aquatic, there is a half part of a thick layer of sand, so that the turtles in the month of May to get outside the pool, turtles actually like the sand, and often climb to the sand to cover themselves with sand, a stay is half a day.

Suggestion 2

You can keep turtles in water without sand. I don't put sand in my turtle tank at home, because there is a top filter cleaning pump to circulate the water in the tank, and putting sand will block the inlet of the filter cleaning pump. Most of the turtle keepers don't use other cleaning equipments, so they have to change the water every few days, which is really very troublesome and disturb the turtle's life. Constant drops are taken out to change the water. In fact, buying a top filter cleaning pump does not cost much money, but can save a lot of things. You can put the filter pads in the filter box of the pump and clean it once a week. I can't change the water once every few days for my big tank at home, and I never change the water, and I have to add water to the tank from time to time (because the water will evaporate when it's hot), and I just need to wash the filter pads. It's that month or so of new filter wool (sold in big chunks for a dollar) that's enough. Clean out the filter pump in about three months or so, because sometimes the turtle molts and clogs up the suction port of the pump. For reference, here's a picture of a top-mounted filter pump and a turtle tank:
