With a pebble size of 10–20mm and a 4.5kg bag, this is a practical choice for keepers setting up or refreshing a turtle tank where both aesthetics and animal welfare matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNatural Origin, Safer for Turtles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pebbles have been naturally smoothed by fast-moving river currents over time, removing sharp edges and rough surfaces. That rounded finish is important for turtles that forage or rest on the substrate — it reduces the risk of shell and skin injury that sharper aggregates can cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRealistic Riverbed Appearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe varied colours and natural patterning across the pebbles recreate the look of a genuine riverbed environment. This makes the enclosure visually cohesive without relying on dyed or artificially textured materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe large grade — 10 to 20mm — is suited to turtles with a shell diameter greater than approximately 10cm. For smaller or juvenile turtles, a finer grade would be more appropriate to avoid any risk of ingestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCleaning and Reuse\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eET Turtle Pebbles can be cleaned and reused rather than discarded. Soak them in a bucket of water with a suitable disinfectant for around 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs completely clear and no visible debris remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straightforward, low-maintenance substrate that prioritises your turtle's safety and gives the enclosure a natural finish — practical for both new setups and established tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148506026321,"sku":"SHP055","price":11.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SHP055_1.jpg?v=1782599465","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/et-turtle-pebbles-lg10-20mm-4-5kg-pt3833","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
