If you look at the natural enviorment of many aquatic turtle species, instead of crystal clear water, youll see ponds and streams that are ruch with organic debris such as leaf litter and fallen branches. In nature, this debris provides many benefits for the aquatic enviorment. Leaves release tannins and organic compounds that condition the water, lower the pH, and slightly tint the water, which can reduce stress in turtles, fish and other aquatic animals. Sunken leaves can also provide hiding and foraging areas for many animals. Now, you can recreate these natural habitats with Zoo Med's Turtle Leaf Litter. This Leaf Litter is made up of leaves from the Jackfruit Tree, that will slowly break down over time adding beneficial tannins to the water. Turtles may tear up and eat these non-toxic leaves.
