Do you mean scratch around the sides of their enclosure? If you do this is because they are trying to digg, and if you do not not have enough substrate in the enclosure for them to do so, it will sound as if they are scratching.

Well to keep your turtle tank clean i suggest putting the turtle in a separate bowl. Then scrubbing the edges of the tank will rid algae or other unpleasant rots.

Then just set up the tank fill it with water and put your little turtle inside! Hope this helps!
