Keeping Sea Turtles: Essential Care Requirements
Sea turtles need brackish water at the right salinity, warm temperatures of 25–28°C, a varied diet of seafood and greens, and a spacious tank with a basking area. Avoid hibernation by keeping water warm, feed every 2–3 days, and balance their diet to keep them healthy.
Why Does a Kitten Have So Much Eye Discharge?
Excessive eye discharge in kittens usually points to a dusty environment, a diet that is too salty or low in water, a bacterial or viral infection, dacryocystitis, or feline herpesvirus (cat flu).

If discharge comes with lethargy or loss of appetite, see a veterinarian promptly to avoid complications.
