My female turtle eat the foam...

I just found out that the foam where I put at my turtle basking area had been eaten.. not the whole foam but yeah, I saw every edge of the foam is gone and do not saw any left on or in water..

What will happen to my turtle? I bet she bite and eat it~! I've searched already if got any small piece in the tank of filter.. do not find any~!

But she eating pellets, krill and lettuce in normal..

How much was eaten? I think most people have had their turtles pass it, but it sounds like their tank needs an upgrade.

I think quite a lot she ate it cuz every edge of the foam got bitten. Yesterday I change their water and clean the filter, put them in separate container then she poop alot and the foam thingy is out also... fiuuhh... I think she is fine.

I will upgrade their tank soon after complete my study.. left 3 months more.
