Zoo Med Dr. Turtle Slow-Release Calcium Block for Turtle Care, Aquarium Water Treatment, 0.02 Pounds

Q: I have 3 RES turtles, they keep eating this thing in few days. Is that okay?

Yes, it is OK. My turtles (red ears, maps, and cooters) do that too. Many years ago, I had 2 map turtles, both of which lived for 26 years, that ate calcium blocks when offered. The turtles I have now totally consume these blocks in 3 days, and the turtles are growing very fast and have very hard shells. Apparently, it is instinctive for turtles to consume rich calcium sources such as this.

Q: Can this be used in place of a water conditioning liquid? Does it make water safe for fish as well or do I need a separate water conditioner for fish?

No, It does not take the place of water conditioning liquid. It does not remove chlorine or chloramines. These blocks simply adjust pH and water hardness.

Q: You you have to have a certain amount of water in the tank to use the Dr. Turtle block?

No but if you're doing a bare bottom tank the block will leave a calcium spot on the glass that I never could seem to completely get off
