Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Should I give my common musk and razorback musk a bath like my RES? They have a lot of algae on their back but I am unsure about cleaning it off. :mrgreen: :msgreen:

Neither should have"baths". You can grab a new toothbrush for a scrub. How often do you bathe your RES? How long have you had the musks?

I bathe my RES daily as my vet told me to (Long story) and I've kept my musks for 1 1/2 years
