About this product

Natural river pebbles make up this aquatic turtle substrate from Zoo Med, supplied in a 10 lb bag. These stones have a smooth finish modelled on a natural riverbed, and they are meant for red-eared slider, map turtle, painted turtle and musk turtle habitats. Softshell turtles are not among the species it is recommended for.

Pre-washed pebbles and bag storage

The pebbles arrive pre-washed, so they can go into the habitat straight from the 10 lb bag. Store the bag closed and dry until you are ready to add the pebbles to the tank.

  • Natural river pebbles
  • 10 lbs per bag
  • Pre-washed
  • Intended for aquatic turtle habitats
  • Not recommended for softshell turtles

What the river pebbles add to a turtle tank

Each bag holds 10 lbs of natural river pebbles. The stones are smooth and shaped to resemble a natural riverbed, so the bottom of an aquatic turtle setup gets a stone surface rather than bare glass.

According to Zoo Med, the pebbles are appropriate for cooters, musk turtles, painted turtles, map turtles and red-eared sliders, as well as other species that live entirely in water. Softshell turtles fall outside that list.

Which turtles are the pebbles not recommended for?

The pebbles are not recommended for softshell turtles. Cooters, musk turtles, painted turtles, map turtles, red-eared sliders and other fully aquatic turtles are the species the manufacturer says are suitable.

Questions about the 10 lb bag

How much do the river pebbles weigh?

One bag contains 10 lbs of natural river pebbles.

Do the pebbles need washing before use?

The pebbles are pre-washed, so no pre-wash step is listed before they go into the habitat.

Can softshell turtles use these pebbles?

No, the pebbles are not recommended for softshell turtles.
