No offense or anything but i dont think you should have a pet turtle anymore. You had 6 turtles and they all died. Just leave turtles alone. Maybe you sohuld start out with a managable pet like a fish. All you have to do is feed them and when your free try to clean there tank every week. When you progress from that get another turtle ( make sure you look them up on the web to get info on ur turtle) Make sure you ask what kind of turtle that is because dif. types can be alot of differences and dif life styles. And maybe when you progress form that a hamster. And then a cat or whatever but just try to take a rest from turtles for now!

Sometimes it's hard to keep turtles. You must keep them in the correct climate, with the right amount of water and feed them correctly. Buy a book that gives you instructions. Please do not get another pet until you read up on their care. Proper care will give you a better chance of keeping them alive!

Stop getting turtles. They were either sick or you are doing something that is killing them. Over feeding, under feeding, putting tap water in their tank, not giving them a rock to get onto to get out of the water, water too cold or too warm.
Turtles, lizards, snakes, and fish don't make very good pets. They are a lot of work and have very delicate systems.

Well, They might die because of the food u feed them. U should ask the vet what food is good for them and just give them that! Poor turtles!

call a Vet that handles turtles, there may possibly be something around or in the area that you kept them that is still alive....could be conditions, diseases, bacterial, viral. anything is possible, ask a Vet about cleaning the area too.

Not to be rude to you but maybe you are just not a good caretaker. Maybe you are not doing things right like you should be doing. Good Luck! Maybe you should try a different animal like a cat or dog.

Don't buy them, spare them the pain and agony, all of the scary memories you will create.
