Hi there. You've got a bunch of little turtles, don't you!

Here's some reading for getting started. Your turtles would be considered hatchlings:

Here's some info on a setup:

You'll want to read up on turtle nuitrition:

When you've read these basic sections, why don't you look around the rest of the site. There's a goldmine of good info for a new turtle keeper.

After you've done your homework, you'll probably have questions. Ask away1

Good luck!

If you just want to get started and dont want to spend a lot:
Plastic storage container.
You can get a filter at petcos website. www.petco.com or www.petsmart.com
I would go for an under water filter because than you dont have to fill the water all the way to the top for a power filter to reach.I put a small pot in the cage for hiding. Large rocks at the bottom and three stones stacked with a light over it.
