Habitat - Indoor :: my turtle's rocks?

[turtleowner]

Ok, so i went to the beach a few weeks ago and i collected big rocks for my turtle's tank. enough for him not to swallow. Is it ok?
Is it unhealthy? My uncle says i should remove it because i always see foam in the water. What should i do?

It's fine to put in those rocks, but BEFORE you do...You should boil them and then scrub them with a soft toothbrush. After that they're fine to put in.

you could always freeze them too. i froze some big river rocks i found before i put them in my tank. just to be safe though i boiled them also.

Yeah just boil them and scrub all the gunk off and they should be fine.my turtles have a blast pushing around my big river riocks
