I an having problems with keeping my turtles from getting parasites. Anyone have any ideas or things to try.

Do you mean intestinal parasites like worms and such? They only way to clear those from your turtles is to see a vet, take a stool sample and let him see what they have and treat them accordingly. You can not treat these with over the counter meds. After treating the turtles their tank/pond has to be disinfected with a 10 percent bleach/water solution. Rinse thoroughly. Yearly stool checks are highly recommended. See this short article on parasites linked here.

I have been having problems with intestinal parasites. I was wondering were they might be geting them from. Thy have bin de wormed 2 times and the one deficated his intestines. What could be the cause of this? To small a tank, food, water quality?

You didn't say how they were de-wormed. Did you take them to a vet and get medication or did you try some over the counter med? Over the counter meds probably don't work and might be bad for the turtle. Treatment from a vet is needed and thorough disinfection of the tank and supplies must be done after treatment.

I had a vet do it 2 times to each turtle.
